Pay What You Can Mending Support

Core to our mission at Approved Textiles is the belief that we can make the sustainability and slow fashion movement broader, more robust, and more accessible. We value people over profit as a practice, not as lip service. 

Classes aren’t always in our budgets. To be clear, the idea of 'budgeting' often blames us for not stretching resources further rather than questioning why those resources are so limited to begin with. We want to help expand your sewing and mending resources, especially if you're experiencing constraints around your current financial resources. 

Each sign-up guarantees a thirty-minute window of personalized support to help you work through and troubleshoot mending, repairing, and refurbishing textiles in your life that require assistance. We're happy to share our resources with you if you need thread, needles, mending transfers, a darning egg, scrap fabric, or the intellectual and creative labor of how to solve a tricky mending or textile design problem. Pay what you can.
