Do you want clothes that fit better or last longer? Join the Sewing & Repair Cafe for assistance with those pesky needles and thread. Whether you want to take in a shirt so it is more flattering on you, you want to fight wastefulness and want to mend a hole in a sweater, or want to turn a worn out item into another thing entirely, we’re here for advice and assistance.
Just bring in your item anytime between 15:30 and 18:30 and we’ll let you know what’s possible. We have a large range of basic supplies available for use, including sewing machines.
Cutlery/pencil roll workshop
Want to learn how to make things from scratch? In our free beginner workshop you’ll make a cutlery (or pencil) roll, in which you’ll learn how to prepare the pieces and sew them on the sewing machine. We’ll provide the materials. Due to the interactive nature, we have only 6 spaces available in the cutlery roll workshop, so be sure to register early
