Repair Series: Fix It. Stitch It. Visible Mend It

May 4, 2019 @ 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm

From Austin Resource Recovery and Recycled Reads –

We only have room for 15 participants, so please sign up on Eventbrite to ensure your seat!

We all have that one textile hanging around our homes. You know the one. The garment you keep but never wear. The bag you store but never carry. The one that would be our favorite if…

…these pants had a patch on that hole.

…this button wasn’t missing

…this jacket had a pocket for keys.

…this shirt didn’t have 1/4 length sleeves

Fear not, devoted followers of fashion, form, and function, it’s time to take these items out of your closet and give them the life they deserve!

Bring your ALMOST favorite piece (or two) to Fix it. Stitch it. Mend it. Switch it.

Whether you want to celebrate the mending process with visible mending, or hide it from all the world, we can help you stitch it up right!

We’ll have sewing machines and (sewing assistance too) and iron-on patches and pockets and grommets and lots of other things you can use to make your ALMOST perfect textile absolutely PERFECT!

Save that garment from a life in the closet and bring it out to Howson Branch!

Free & Open to the Public

Adults 18+ only, please!

This series is funded by a stipend from Austin’s Resource Recovery
