Repair Cafe

The mission of Repair Café is for experienced menders to share their knowledge while demonstrating repairs, so our clients leave feeling empowered to try repairing themselves. We aim to spread the word that repairing and renovating can be FUN!

Please check the volunteer skills we can offer at this Repair Cafe and choose the one that matches the item you need to repair most closely. Each volunteer will show you how to repair your item, using their tools. You will learn the skills to finish repairing your object at home if we run out of time.

It would help us if you can indicate the type of repair you are bringing in, so we can be more prepared. For example, torn seam in red dress then we can have red thread available. Old, faded jeans needing a patch so we can have the right color patch handy.
