Repair Cafe: Textiles and Clothing

Public Events Member Events

Have you got holes in your jumper, rips in your jeans, broken bags or trashed trainers? Join Zoe and Romain for an in-person guide to fixing textiles.

We will provide materials, thread, needles and pins in order for you to patch, sew or darn new life into your beloved clothes, accessories, trainers or other textile items.

No experience or skill necessary, all welcome!
