Join Us for Mend in Public Day!

Be part of a global movement with Mend in Public Day, a Fashion Revolution initiative aimed at tackling fast fashion—one stitch at a time.

Bring your clean clothing project and join us for an afternoon of mindful mending! Not sure what to bring? A missing button, a ripped seam, or a moth-nibbled sweater—whatever needs a little TLC, we’re here to guide you. Please note that while we’ll be offering tips and support, we won’t be mending items for you. Be sure to bring the necessary supplies for your project.

Claire's repairs run free darning workshops in Maidenhead, encouraging the community to repair what they wear and stitch it don't ditch it

Join FabPatch.au and Eastern Metropolitan Region Councils for The Great Global Mend, a world-record attempt to celebrate International Mending in Public Day! Repairers and menders across the Perth, Australia region will come together to repair, restore, and make history.
We’re calling on all repair enthusiasts, beginners, and community groups to take part in this global movement. Grab your torn clothes, stained gear, or favourite worn-out items and be part of a record-breaking event!
Put this event in your calendar and let’s mend the world together.

My name is Ana Ibarra, I organize free clothing swaps and workshops in Toronto, Ontario. Currently, I work as a teacher in community centers. This year, I am starting as a Remake ambassador, and I will also begin working with Autism Ontario.

We are a Mexican family with a child on the autism spectrum, born in Canada. The high cost of therapies has made us reflect on what truly matters—it's better to repair and reuse clothing than to contribute to more pollution. I studied fashion design in my home country, and since my native language is Spanish, I can help spread this message not only to the Canadian community but also to the Latin American community living in Canada.

Fashion Revolution Toronto is hosting a Public Mending Day at 1033 College Street. Bring your own personal mending projects, holey things and help keep our textiles in loop!

This Fashion Revolution Week, all over the world we are coming together to mend and put care into the clothing that we already own! Join the Fashion Revolution Toronto team’s Mend in Public Day on April 26th at 1033 College Street from 2-4pm.

One of the most powerful things that you can do is agitate the industry’s status quo. On April 26th 2024 we are coming together in public spaces to demand that the fashion industry take action by refusing to partake in the capitalist system and instead mend our textiles to keep them in loop.

All are welcome to come to mend with us! The more we are, the greater the impact we can make!

We are Sequoia Fabrica, a community makerspace in San Francisco’s Potrero Hill neighborhood fostering the next generation of makers, designers and craftspeople. We’re home to a wood and textile workshop, 3D printers and a laser cutter, electronics, crafts and fine arts supplies.

Soms koop je iets wat toch niet helemaal bij je past. Soms scheurt je favoriete broek op het slechtste moment. Soms loopt het gewoon anders dan gepland… en dat is helemaal oké! Heb jij kleren in je kast die je niet draagt? Breng ze mee en geef ze een tweede leven!

Elke 5 minuten worden 1 miljoen kledingstukken gemaakt, minder dan 1 procent wordt gerecycleerd. Bovendien draagt de mode-industrie de verantwoordelijkheid voor 2 tot 8 procent van de wereldwijde uitstoot van broeikasgassen. Cijfers die doen duizelen en bewijzen hoe belangrijk het is om jouw kleerkast duurzamer te maken.

Tijdens de Miskoop Markt kan je jouw kleding creatief hergebruiken. Inkom en deelname aan de workshops zijn gratis.

Sometimes you buy something that doesn't quite fit you. Sometimes your favorite pants rip at the worst possible moment. Sometimes things just don't go as planned... and that's perfectly okay! Do you have clothes in your closet that you don't wear? Bring them along and give them a second life!

Every 5 minutes, 1 million items of clothing are made, less than 1 percent is recycled. In addition, the fashion industry is responsible for 2 to 8 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. These are staggering figures that prove how important it is to make your wardrobe more sustainable.

During the Miskoop Markt, you can creatively reuse your clothes. Admission and participation in the workshops are free.

In a world of fast fashion and skyrocketing prices, it's invaluable to know how to repair your clothes.

Darning is a great place to start! Darning is a relaxing and rewarding way to extend the life of a garment and truly make it one of a kind.

Our resident Mischief Maker Alex will guide you through the process of darning clothing repair. Bring your own well-worn clothes, or use one of an array of pieces we'll provide.
