Penneys to offer free sewing classes in stores for shoppers to learn how to repair own clothes

Ever buy a nice new shirt only to rip it when putting it on? Or maybe you have bought a new pair of pants that are just a bit too long and you can’t afford to get another pair.

For a lot of people, the quickest and easiest way to fix this is to head to Penneys and pick up an affordable replacement, however, this can cause a significant amount of waste.

Now, as part of a commitment to become a more sustainable and circular business, Penneys is set to offer free sewing workshops in stores so customers can learn how to make repairs to their own clothes.
