We’re hosting a Spring Clothing Swap with Textile Repairs and Hand Mending Demonstrations! This all-ages event is for kids, parents, and all community members. We welcome volunteers too.
Bring freshly laundered, lightly worn clothing to trade. Think spring & summer attire for sharing. Remaining items will be donated to a local charity.
Anna Keefer will come with patches, needles & thread to give hand mending instruction. Melissa Rossie will be our textile repairer, with perhaps a mystery guest! And yes, you can come just for a repair.
We’re also trying something new this time, and will have an extra sewing machine on hand for folks to use. Learn something new or revisit an old skill you haven’t practised for a while.
South Community Hall, 121 Sturdies Bay Road
Saturday, April 27th from 10 am to 1 pm
GIRR’s repair series is funded through the CRD’s Rethink Waste Community Grant program, which we are ever grateful for in helping us to keep useful items out of the waste management system before their time. Thank you to our community for taking part!
