Fright to Repair
About
A Halloween-flavored repair evening co-hosted by Basilica Bio, mixing beginner sewing and quick-stitch mending lessons with costume-accessory making, trivia, seasonal snacks and a raffle. It runs 4–6pm at Reuse Commons Lake City, 12558 Lake City Way NE (bus 522 from Roosevelt Station or route 61 from Northgate Station), and is free, with sign-up through the organizers' Luma page. Reuse Commons follows it with the bigger Handmade Halloween Hootenanny on 30 October.

New to textiles?
Textile classes range from weaving on a frame or rigid-heddle loom to embroidery, knitting, crochet, natural dyeing, felting and sewing a first garment.
- Check whether the class is for complete beginners or assumes you can already cast on or thread a machine.
- Single sessions usually make something small: a wall hanging, a hoop, a dyed scarf.
- Bring reading glasses if you use them; most fibre work is close-up.
Taking it home: Usually the same day. Larger pieces may be finished at home with the yarn or thread you leave with.
