We got a grant from Fort Road Federation to host free Mending Meetups/Mend Along Clinics in June at Nine Lives on 6/1 from 6-8:30pm Kristen from RETHINK and Bethany Mae will be your hosts.

🪡Whether you have experience and want to sew in community, OR want to bring a project that needs a little guidance, make sure to RSVP (link in bio) to this free event to save your spot. Save the dates for 6/8, 6/22, and 6/29.

Bethany holds a BFA from Syracuse University (2008) in Costume Design. Her mother taught her to sew as a child, having come from a lineage of master dressmakers. Bethany Mae grew up collecting and later selling vintage clothing, consuming Vogue and replicating photoshoots for her Barbies.

She moved to Los Angeles in 2009, there working in the Film Industry as a hair and makeup artist simultaneously designing and making costumes for theaters.

At the end of 2018, Bethany moved back to Minneapolis and has been organizing events, teaching art through therapeutic techniques and hosting beginning sewing classes while also raising a beautiful child and connecting deeper with our mother earth.

We look forward to mending with you soon! And please let us know if you have any questions!
