share & repair monthly pop-ups

we are starting monthly Share + Repair pop ups @ Wandering Foods, and the first is on Saturday 2 August from 10am - 1pm. in keeping with it being World Embroidery Day a few days before, the theme of our first pop up is 'Re:doing Denim'.

we welcome everyone to join us on the day for whatever times suit them, and we welcome all ideas, resources, and demonstration projects that people would like to share to make the day a success.

we'll have examples of upcycled denim items from our members, and some deconstructed denim patches to show people how to use visible mending to give denim items a longer life.

a small library of books will be available for people to peruse and get inspiration from, and we’ll also have our BOSS bags and dish cloths there for sale.

we’d love to have you join us in sharing your skills and knowledge with others on the day, downstairs at Wandering Foods in Railway Street. 

world embroidery day

 

it’s world embroidery day on 30 july, so we’re gathering again to stitch in public!

we’ll be sitting in the council forecourt on high street, where we'll get lots of sun this time.

bring some embroidery, maybe a chair and join us. embroidery is a great way to embellish and mend fabric!

we can help guide you with embroidery stitches, and how to use them in mending 💖

mending in public day

 

as part of fashion revolution week, we'll again be mending in public on saturday 26 april between 9am and noon. 

bring some mending, maybe a chair, and join us outside IGA as we take to the streets and stitch in protest against disposable fashion. 

standing as a beacon of change in a world inundated with fashion waste, come and be part of a global creative action resisting the cycle of excess through repair and reuse. 

we're always up for a chat, especially about mending :)
