Mending Circle Free Community Events

UPCOMING Mending Circles:


LEARN HOW TO MEND YOUR OWN CLOTHES

Mending Circles are bi-monthly community events where anyone is welcome to meet and mingle with fellow members while giving their damaged items a second life. Each event has volunteers ready to teach you the necessary techniques and practices so you can repair your items during the event and in the future. We provide the sewing machines and basic supplies, so just bring your items and any specific patches you might want. No sewing experience required!

Check out our FAQ below for details about what to expect and how you can join the next one.
