This week at Creativity Café, we’re stitching stories instead of stirring drama—thanks to two special friends bringing their craft to share:
“Gucci Weeps: The Satchel Saga”
Brien found a fancy Italian leather couch in the trash. He ripped it to pieces–likely with nothing but his own brawn and plenty of swagger–claiming from beast enough hides to make Gucci weep.
Now he’s looking to share the spoils with us at Creativity Café! Brien will show you how to turn the remnants of Bill & Andy’s couch into small, sturdy pouches—bags fit for hedge-botherers and stitched with story.
Answer the call of the Satchel Saga this week at Creativity Cafe!

AND
“Midday Mini-Mending with Molly!”
Bring a worn (but not completely tattered) woven textile, and Molly will help you patch it up using an intricate yet easy mending technique—needle weaving! Works great on worn pocket corners, rear-end mends, and cuffs (not so great for socks or sweaters). Mending materials provided.
Molly Painter is a one-time Wheeler resident with a history of trying to fix everything. She discovered mending as a way to extend the life of beloved workwear, jackets, and jeans—all without complicated tools or ready-made patches. If you want to share in the quiet joy of fixing something by making it even more special, this is the class for you!
