Decorate your desired garment with patches from previous classes and personal embellishments. Materials required.\n\nAbout the instructor\, Katie McFarland: I came to upcycling the old-fashioned way: because I had to. A punk since 1983\, I’ve spent a lifetime rescuing\, repairing\, remixing\, and reimagining discarded materials. I’ve made clothes from thrift-store finds\, patched garments until they became works of art\, block-printed fabric\, and turned scraps into something worth keeping. When my kids were young\, I dumpster-dived for food and useful materials\, learning firsthand that “waste” is often just value waiting for a second chance. \nToday\, I describe myself as a fabric-pattern DJ\, sampling\, layering\, and remixing textiles into new forms. My favorite technique is visible mending\, because it refuses to hide damage. Instead\, it transforms wear\, loss\, and breakage into part of the story. A visible mend is a declaration of hope: proof that what is torn can be strengthened\, what is worn can be made useful again\, and what bears scars can still be beautiful. For me\, upcycling isn’t a trend; it’s a way of seeing the world. \nOur sliding scale for classes helps to reduce barriers for participation while retaining sufficient income for Seattle REconomy\, which operates the NE Seattle and Shoreline Tool Libraries and Reuse Commons Lake City. Please choose the level that best fits your household’s income. If cost is a concern\, we encourage you to contact us at info@seattlereconomy.org to discuss options.

SUMMARY:Learn to Sew Reusable Cloth Pads for Menstruation and Incontinence @ STL
DESCRIPTION:Learn about reusable cloth pads as you use basic sewing skills to create them. Materials provided. Advanced beginner sewing skills required.\n\n\nStudents will learn to sew reusable cloth pads for menstruation and/or incontinence using a selection of easy-to-find fabrics\, and quickly learn how the world of cloth pads is ahead of commercial pads in terms of customizations and leak protection. The benefits of cloth pads are endless. \nThis project will help you grow existing sewing skills and confidence (details on prerequisites below). They provide reduced skin irritation\, increased comfort\, total control over the materials (no plastic)\, better breathability\, customized absorption and leak protection\, save plastic from landfills\, and provide cost savings over time. Cloth pads make great gifts and donations to charities as well. \nThis class will cover questions such as: \n\nAre reusable cloth pads sanitary?\nAre they more prone to leaks than disposable options?\nHow fast do they absorb?\nHow do I wash them?\nWhat about stains?\nWhat about super-heavy flows?\n\nStudents will get an overview of the different layers in cloth pads and recommendations for best options based on needs\, be provided with enough supplies to make at least two reusable pads from the available patterns\, learn and get support for the entire process\, and be provided a list of recommended materials (where to find them and how to select the right ones while also offering options for a range of budgets). \nThis class will be taught in an inclusive\, judgment-free environment. There will be direct language around sensitive topics\, like anatomy\, menstruation\, and other aspects of being human. \nPrerequisites: This class is for students who have basic experience using a sewing machine. All students must already be able to thread a machine and bobbin without guidance\, be able to sew straight seams\, understand basic seam allowance\, backstitching\, and simple construction\, and have completed simple projects using a sewing machine. \nAbout the instructor\, Kimberly Swenson: Kimberly has been sewing for 30+ years. It all started when her mother gave her a threaded needle and some scrap fabric when she was six years old; Kimberly would sit in the corner at her work\, mesmerized by how thread could combine two pieces of fabric. She learned how to sew on a machine when she was eight\, then learned the “right” way to sew in Home Economics. Since then\, she’s sewn everything from handbags\, quilts\, a wedding dress\, garments\, and accessories. She loves the creative problem-solving in sewing and the satisfaction of figuring out a challenging project. \nOur sliding scale for classes helps to reduce barriers for participation while retaining sufficient income for Seattle REconomy\, which owns and operates the NE Seattle and Shoreline tool libraries.

Materials required.\n\nAbout the instructor\, Katie McFarland: I came to upcycling the old-fashioned way: because I had to. A punk since 1983\, I’ve spent a lifetime rescuing\, repairing\, remixing\, and reimagining discarded materials. I’ve made clothes from thrift-store finds\, patched garments until they became works of art\, block-printed fabric\, and turned scraps into something worth keeping. When my kids were young\, I dumpster-dived for food and useful materials\, learning firsthand that “waste” is often just value waiting for a second chance. \nToday\, I describe myself as a fabric-pattern DJ\, sampling\, layering\, and remixing textiles into new forms. My favorite technique is visible mending\, because it refuses to hide damage. Instead\, it transforms wear\, loss\, and breakage into part of the story. A visible mend is a declaration of hope: proof that what is torn can be strengthened\, what is worn can be made useful again\, and what bears scars can still be beautiful. For me\, upcycling isn’t a trend; it’s a way of seeing the world. \nOur sliding scale for classes helps to reduce barriers for participation while retaining sufficient income for Seattle REconomy\, which operates the NE Seattle and Shoreline Tool Libraries and Reuse Commons Lake City.

No previous knowledge is required. This class will cover where to source 3D models online\, how to slice files using Prusa Slicer\, and how to operate the machine. You are encouraged to bring your own laptop to the class and download Prusa Slicer by clicking here\, but it is not required. \nThis class will not include a 3D modeling aspect. If you are interested in learning 3D modeling\, check out our other class—CAD for 3D Printing. Please note that CAD for 3D Printing class is NOT a 3D printer orientation class and will not cover how to use our in-house 3D printers. These classes will not have any content overlap. If you are interested in taking both\, you can take them in either order. \nTaking the 3D Printer Orientation is required to use our in-house printers. You must also be a member of NE Seattle Tool Library or Shoreline Tool Library to take this class. Become a member here! \nWhile this instance is at the Shoreline Tool Library\, we also have 3D Printer Orientations at the NE Seattle Tool Library\, and completing one at either location gives members access to all of our tool library 3D printers. You may view our full list of upcoming 3D Printer Orientations here. \nOur sliding scale for classes helps to reduce barriers for participation while retaining sufficient income for Seattle REconomy\, which owns and operates the NE Seattle and Shoreline tool libraries.

SUMMARY:Tool School for Women+: Basic Home Education and Maintenance @ STL
DESCRIPTION:Learn how your home works\, spot common issues\, and explore simple fixes\, from the exterior to the kitchen and bathroom. Women+ space.\n\n\nIn this class\, students will gain a basic understanding of how a home works\, why it does or doesn’t\, and how it can get better. The class will begin with a primer on the exterior or shell of the home\, reviewing components\, identifying potential problem areas\, and discussing potential simple and effective solutions. Next\, the class will work its way through the home and the areas of greatest concern – the kitchen and bathroom. \nIf time allows\, there will also be a discussion of heating/cooling systems\, basic plumbing and electrical\, etc. \nWomen+ classes are intended for women\, including cisgender and transgender women\, as well as transgender men and nonbinary people who feel comfortable learning in a space focused on women’s experiences. These classes provide a supportive environment to ask questions\, learn new skills\, and build confidence using tools\, especially for those who may not have had many opportunities to work with them before. If this class isn’t the right fit for you\, we also offer many workshops that are open to everyone. See our full schedule at seattlereconomy.org. \nAbout the instructor\, Aileen Gagney: Aileen is an architect by trade\, a former general contractor\, home inspector\, and pest inspector. She is also a Healthy Home Specialist and is Green-Advantage Certified. She has been teaching people about their homes for over 40 years. She spent 15 years as the Director of the Master Home Environmentalist Program and\, for the past 12\, as the Senior Technical Advisor and Trainer for a Tribal Healthy Homes non-profit. She helps people understand how their homes work by providing simple\, effective advice and solutions to make homes safe\, comfortable\, healthy\, and energy efficient. Personally\, she has spent the last 29 years renovating a 1916 Ballard craftsman into a net zero home – reducing energy consumption from $3100/yr to $0! \nOur sliding scale for classes helps to reduce barriers for participation while retaining sufficient income for Seattle REconomy\, which owns and operates the NE Seattle and Shoreline tool libraries. Please choose the level that best fits your family’s income. If cost is a concern\, we encourage you to contact us at info@seattlereconomy.org to discuss options. \nACCESSIBILITY: \n\nThe venue is wheelchair accessible and has an all-gender restroom.
