Textile Mending & Repair Café

Patch it, Darn it, Fix it
Need to repair a beloved item of clothing, but don’t know where to start?

Stitch it, Don’t Ditch it
Has your favourite item of clothing got a hole in it?

Make it, Mend it
Did you get a sewing machine for Christmas but don’t know how to use it yet? Is your new year’s resolution to learn a new skill?

Bring along your garments and get some technical support or learn to sew using a machine! Book a 1 hour slot between 10am – 4pm with That Girl Gail and move your project forward.

We have:

• sewing machines (If you have your own, bring it; it’s best to get to know your own machine).
• hand-sewing kits.
• fabric and thread.
• recycled haberdashery and embellishments.

If you want to use your own kit or fabric, then feel free to bring that along too.

We’ll provide the brews and biscuits!

This is a family-friendly event. You don’t need any experience of sewing.
This is your chance to reduce textile waste by repairing, reusing and recycling your old clothing; what a stylish way to help tackle climate change!
