A ripped or torn piece of clothing is a sign it’s well-loved, not that it needs to be tossed out. 

By extending the life of your clothes by just 9 months, you can reduce their carbon, water, and waste footprint by 20-30%.

In these free workshops for City of Sydney residents, you will learn easy hand sewing techniques to repair your favourite clothes including:

• sewing on a button
• mending a hole with visible mending
• hemming a garment.

The experienced teachers from Sew Make Create will guide you through the mending process.

You must live in the City of Sydney to participate and proof of address is required. Check this map to see if you live in the area.

Skill level: Suitable for complete beginners. No previous sewing experience required.

Provided: All tools and materials, and a sewing kit to take home for repairs.
