🫶We are SEW pleased to announce our vend-friends for September’s Top Stitch & Friends event! 🫶

🧵 At our low-waste sewing studio, we believe we can take care of our material things and each other at the same time. That’s why, at Top Stitch & Friends events, we invite other local repair specialists, low-waste sustainability initiatives, and creative reuse makers to offer their products and services to the community.

📅 This event will be held on Saturday, September 13th from 11am-3pm at the Top Stitch studio at 401 N 23rd St in Church Hill. There is typically ample street parking within a block or two. We can’t wait and hope to seam you there!

The Exit Plan @findyourexitplan will be offering matcha on site. Bring your own cup for $5 off mending!

Forget Me Not @forgetmenot.rva will be offering nostalgic textiles, romantic mementos, heirlooms, keepsakes, good luck charms, wearable collectibles, handmade and mended goods, found objects and more.

Windblown Sister Botanicals @windblownsisterbotanicals will be offering hand-built blank books, journals and notebooks made with reclaimed materials, natural dyes and stains. Plus they’ll have botanical skincare and plant powered perfumes. Come chat with her about native plants, Western folk herbalism and plant medicine.

🛍 Top Stitch + Friends events ALWAYS include appointment-free walk-in mini-mends and whole pile drop off for pickup at a later date. Check out our Instagram highlight for how to prep your mending pile. Let’s get your mending off your to-do list and through our door!

Can’t make the event but have your mending pile all ready to go? You can always schedule a drop-off with us through the link in our bio at our Church Hill studio location or Eco Inspired, our Southside drop-off and pick-up location. We even accept mail-in mending!

This is a FREE event, with no registration required.
