Simple Clothes Mending Workshop, Saturday the 19th October 2024
Discover the art of sustainable fashion by learning to repair and repurpose your clothes in our interactive mending workshop - perfect for anyone passionate about reducing waste and enhancing their wardrobe.
At The Joinery, 111 Franklin Street in the Adelaide CBD, alongside the Adelaide Sustainability Centre invites you to come and swap your clothes and fabric, as well as bring something damaged you'd like to learn how to mend.
It could be any garment with rips or tears in the fabric, wear-and-tear or moth holes to patch up, missing buttons, and pulled off belt loops - we'll have Sandie from @the3rsbysandie and Jimmy from @daddy_issues_the_label there to help!
The clothes and fabric swap will be a separate event, held on the same day - visit our Markets and Events page for more info if you would like to attend this event too! Tickets will be available through Humanitix September 2024.
Please note that learning things like hemming, taking up or in, or altering garments is a different skill and can be learned in different upcoming workshops.
