During the second half of the class, participants will have the opportunity to measure + begin to stitch their own garments in need of shortening.

We are super excited to return for our second year at 78th Street Studios for a day filled with creativity, inspiration, and community. The Rust Belt Fibershed Symposium is convening regional voices from across our local fiber and textile community.
Along with a panel of guest speakers in the morning, the afternoon will be immersive and hands-on: learning stations, vendor tables, a clothing swap, and more! Whether you're a textile enthusiast, designer, farmer, gardener, culture shifter, climate advocate, clothes-wearer (we know you are!), someone who sees the connections between all of our living systems, someone who wants to get plugged into a community, or simply curious about the power of textiles to create an enlivened future, this event is a must-attend.
The pop-up is free from 2-4 pm, and we encourage you to attend the speakers portion in the morning as well!
