Sip n’ Stitch

Join us on Thursday, July 25 for an evening of making and mending. Sip n’ Stitch is a clothing repair and embroidery skill-share suitable for all skill levels. Bring one or two clothing items in need of care and your ideas – we’ll provide materials, refreshments, and know-how to bring new life to your old wardrobe favourites.

• Learn creative tips & tricks to save your clothes from the bin with the experts behind Edmonton Repairathon.
• Make embroidered patches with local emerging artists Mitchell Chalifoux and Vivian Trihn, with materials generously provided by Trapunto, Edmonton’s newest local fabric shop.
• Browse textile and fibre arts works by local artists, and learn how you can sell your creations through The QUILTBAG, Edmonton’s newest LGBTQ+ oriented retail shop.
• Connect with your local community and share your ideas for reducing textile waste.
• Show off your finished work with the hashtag #L53SipnStitch.

Admission is by donation both online and at the door, and helps cover the cost of materials and artist fees. Embroidery hoops will be available for purchase ($5). We accept cash and card payments.

Doors and bar open 7pm | Orientations 8pm & 9pm | Event runs until 10:30pm
