Repair Café - hand sewing

Our focus for this year's National Recycling Week is textile recycling and reduction to landfill. Did you know that on average Australians discard 23kg of textiles into landfill each year?

Our Repair Cafe aims to give you the skills to repair your clothes to prolong their life, reduce what you need to purchase and keep clothing out of landfills. During the one-hour session, you can learn:

· Hemming

· Sewing on patches

· Repair a hole in a wool jumper

· Replacing a button / adding an extra buttonhole

· Take in large clothing

Afternoon tea will be provided.

Register to one of the timeslots via eventbrite.com/e/repair-cafe-hand-sewing-tickets-1056227788749

If you have any questions or additional topics you would like covered, please contact our Waste Education Officer, Aimee on 1300 345 345.
