Events/Workshops
In the movement against throw-away culture and fast fashion, rediscover and transform your favorite well worn fashion items. Workshops will vary from learn to sew simple DIY projects to visible mending and repair cafes. These workshops will explore not only how to mend but why mending is so important.
Explore our large selection of recirculated fabrics and sewing supplies, plus get the latest updates on our upcoming events at our monthly Open House on the last Saturday of Each Month in October and November.

Did you know that wearing your clothes longer is the most impactful way to reduce fashions carbon footprint? Sometimes, in order to wear your clothes longer, they need to be repaired or altered. Join us for a free productive social engagement. During our community clothing repair clinic you bring your clean apparel items needing repair, and you use our machines, various tools, and diverse scraps to repair, mend, and re-imagine your own items under the guidance of our volunteer expert’s. (though we have basic supplies if your item needs a zipper replacement, you are responsible for bringing the new zipper) Event is Free (max 40 people).
you are in the right place whether you already know how to repair your clothes and just want a space to tackle your mending pile with others OR you need a little help to learn how to repair your clothes.
Scan the QR code or follow this link to see the listings of locations, dates, and times. https://forms.gle/6hTWao2rn5BdL8XN6 These events are designed as a teaching and educational enrichment experience, the goal is that you learn to do your own repairs, and leave the event with new skills to make similar repairs on your own in the future. (we will not do the repair for you)
due to the nature of having Hot irons, cords running across the floor, and sharp objects like pins and needles we suggest all those in attendance are over the age of 10.
