Free Community Mending Day at Stitch Buffalo
Bring in a beloved garment or other textile item in need of repair, and our team of skilled menders (including members of the Refugee Women’s Workshop) will be on hand to help you repair it! Whether it's a torn seam, a missing button, or a small hole, we're here to assist you in prolonging the life of your favorite clothing pieces and reducing textile waste. To ensure everyone is served in a timely fashion, this event is limited to one item per customer. Thank you!
No prior experience is necessary. You will stay with your garment, to observe and learn.
This event will provide an opportunity to connect with fellow community members who share a passion for sustainable fashion and DIY projects!
