Learn hand sewing with a focus on visible mending. Join Ketakii and Shaye from ShayeKet Productions to learn about fashion waste, mending and repair, and why it’s important to build these skills back into our communities. 

Enjoy breaking into groups with similar items to begin the guided repair process. 

Take home a little first aid patch kit of adhesive patches, needles, threads, snips and a mini-mending zine with instructions.

Supported by Libraries and council’s Waste Education team for the Garage Sale Trail.
