Vancouver Mend in Public Day

With over 17 years experience in garment making and alterations Claire has key knowledge in the field.  Gradutating in 2007 from a menswear BA at Brighton University, clothing and textiles have been a big part of Claire's life.  Sustainable practices have always been a part of Claire's business values which sent her down a path of servicing and educating starting with garment alterations.  Since 2019 teaching others how to alter garments was the launching point of the repertoire of classes you can attend today.  Every session brings learning of how to best adapt to meet the needs of anyone from beginners to those coming back into sewing.  Each class if very adaptive for different learning styles and is intended to inspire people to continue on their creative path.  As someone who likes human interaction Claire treats every interaction with warmth and curiosity.  Sewing brings such happiness and a sense of joy to all who try it.  To pass on skills that people can use for life is the best feeling, with a continued afford to adapt classes to meet the needs of anyone who wishes to learn.

As part of the Fashion Revolution Brasília 2025 program, the morning of April 26th will be dedicated to a special gathering with the Linhas da Resistência Collective — a group of embroiderers, artists, activists, and militants who transform embroidery into a political language and a tool for empowerment.

The event will take place within the Ponta Norte Agroecological Fair, a symbolic space for the intersection of sustainable practices, solidarity economy, and grassroots resistance.

The gathering invites everyone into an open and heartfelt exchange of knowledge, where participants can learn about the embroiderers' creative process, the meanings stitched into their cloaks and textile cartographies, and experience embroidery as a collective act of listening, resistance, and memory-building.

Under Fashion Revolution Week, möts vi på Second First för Mend In Public Day; vår årliga protestdag då vi tillsammans agerar för förändring!

Idén är enkel: vi ger oss ut och syr som en protest mot slit-och-släng-modet.

Mitt bland lördagsshoppande människor lagar vi trasiga fickor och sömmar – och väcker samtal om hur vi kan få våra älskade kläder att hålla längre!

Mer information och kontakt via Facebook-eventet.

During Fashion Revolution Week, we meet at Second First for Mend In Public Day; our annual protest day where we act together for change!

The idea is simple: we go out and sew as a protest against throwaway fashion.

In the middle of Saturday shopping people, we mend torn pockets and seams – and spark conversations about how we can make our beloved clothes last longer!

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.
