About this Event
Repair & Visible Mending Evening 16:00 - 20:00
Join us for a fun and cozy in-person evening dedicated to repairing your favourite clothes and giving them a fresh, stylish twist with visible mending. Bring your worn-out garments, learn cool stitching techniques, and make your wardrobe last longer while hanging out with fellow makers. No experience needed β just bring your creativity and a bit of patience. Letβs make mending a celebration, not a chore!
Join us for an evening dedicated to repairing and extending the life of the clothes we already own.
This relaxed drop-in repair session focuses on visible mending and simple clothing repairs. Whether you have a small hole, loose seam, missing button or just want to learn how to mend your clothes, you are welcome to bring an item along and work on it with guidance.
Visible mending celebrates repair rather than hiding it. Using simple techniques, you can strengthen worn areas and give garments a new life while reducing textile waste.
The session is suitable for beginners as well as anyone who already enjoys sewing and repair.
You will learn practical techniques such as
Repairing small holes
Strengthening worn fabric
Simple hand stitching methods
Visible mending techniques

Any threads or materials you would like to use (optional)
