Community Threads @ STL
2026-03-14 12:00 - 15:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Shoreline Tool Library, 16610 Aurora Avenue North, Shoreline, WA, 98133, United States
It’s time to chat and craft together. Bring your textiles or craft supplies (or use our sewing supplies), and get to know your community!

Got a collection of hole-filled socks you can’t get rid of? Have you been meaning to set aside time for your latest alteration, but need some motivation? Come mend with us!
Our Community Threads mending and sewing circle is a monthly event for anyone to work on their textile projects. Any textile craft is welcome! Honestly, any craft is welcome, but we will only be providing sewing supplies (at least at first). There will be sewing machines, fabric, thread and community, as well as hot tea.
This will not be a class format, while there will be experienced menders present to offer advice and counsel, this is intended as a co-working space.
Can’t make it to this one? We plan to host it on the second weekend of each month: the second Sunday at the NE Seattle Tool Library and the second Saturday at the Shoreline Tool Library!

Fix-It Night at the Shoreline Tool Library
2026-03-18 17:00 - 20:00 | Shoreline Tool Library, 16610 Aurora Avenue North, Shoreline, WA, 98133, United States
Bring by your broken household items for a night of fixing and community building at the Shoreline Tool Library!

It’s time to start collecting all those items around the house that need to be fixed but you don’t know how. We are hosting a repair night at the Shoreline Tool Library. We will help you fix and learn to fix your broken tools, lamps, toys, furniture, appliances, and any other broken items that you can carry in on your own. We encourage you to help as much as you can and enjoy the community of reuse!
If you are excited about fixing and want to help out with this event or other fixing opportunities we are looking for more fixers. Sign up to help out at this event here or join our list of fixers by sending us an email at ShorelineTL@seattlereconomy.org.

Fabric Fix-It
2026-03-24 17:00 - 20:00 | NE Seattle Tool Library, 10228 Fischer Place Northeast, Seattle, WA, 98125, United States
Bring your textiles in need of mending for a night of repair and community at the NE Seattle Tool Library.

Need help getting your fabric back in tip-top shape? Come to NESTL the 4th Tuesday of each month for Fabric Fix-It!
We will have menders on site who can either offer advice on mending, or mend textiles for you. If your project goals are out of the scope of what we can accomplish in one evening, we will help you make a plan to carry out on your own.
Some common fixes include: hemming, patching small holes, reattaching buttons, and fixing or replacing zippers.
This will be our first fabric fix-it, so we will be limiting it to 2 items per person. If we find our menders are able to get items fixed, we would love to expand it to more! Feel free to bring supplies to fix your item, if you have them. We will have some supplies on hand. Please plan on sticking around while your items are fixed.
Want to mend at this event? Email marlee@seattlereconomy.org to sign up
