Events › Punk Rock Week: Repairing Garment Closures with Jessamy Shay

Hey, fellow rebels and crafty souls! Ever had those wicked jackets, pants, or bags that need a bit of love? Repairing Garment Closures will focus on reattaching and adding simple closures like buttons, snaps, and hooks & eyes to clothing. Using just a needle and thread, participants will learn how to replace different types of buttons, including shirt and coat buttons, or add invisible snaps to help their garments lie on the body better.

Get ready to unleash your inner anarchist on those busted closures! Jessamy Shay will provide the tools, the guidance, and the know-how—you bring your ripped gear and rebellious spirit. Whether you’re a DIY newbie or a seasoned punk pro, everyone's welcome to learn, share, and rock out together.

Let's stitch, snip, and spike up those closures with DIY pride. Because in our world, mending ain’t just about fixing—it’s about making a statement. See you there, DIY punks!

Note: Safety pins optional, but attitude required. Suitable for beginners with little or no sewing experience. This workshop will not cover zipper repairs.
