Sustainable Stitching and Mending Workshops

Tuesday, October 1st, 2024 // Forbes Avenue

This week on Forbes Avenue, Carnegie Mellon student Katrina D’arms discusses fashion, mending, and the importance of a sustainable relationship to clothes.

Home economics has largely faded from school curriculums, but Kat hosts mending workshops on CMU’s campus and in Pittsburgh at large where she provides materials and teaches people the skills to repair their clothing. (For more information and upcoming events: @mendwithkat on Instagram). It was a great perspective about the clothes we wear everday!
