mending a sockLearn and share ways of mending clothes, from darning socks to patching pants to replacing buttons. For those interested in machine mending, we’ll have a few of our tried-and-true sewing machines available for use.

The Old-Style Life Skills Series (OSLSS) is a monthly series of workshops for the whole family devoted to rediscovering rural wisdom. Our mission in offering these classes and workshops is to foster self-sufficiency, neighborly interdependence, and sustainable lifestyles and agricultural practices.
