Need help getting your fabric back in tip-top shape? RSVP and come to Reuse Commons Lake City the fourth Tuesday of each month for Fabric Fix-It!

We will have menders on site who can either offer advice on mending, or mend textiles for you. If your project goals are out of the scope of what we can accomplish in one evening, we will help you make a plan to carry out on your own.

Some common fixes include: hemming, patching small holes, reattaching buttons, and fixing or replacing zippers.

We are including a limit of two items at a time per person. If you have more items to be fixed, feel free to bring them, but we will prioritize fixing a few things for everyone over multple items for the same person! Feel free to bring supplies to fix your item, if you have them. We will have some supplies on hand. Please plan on sticking around while your items are fixed.

Want to mend at this event? Email scout@seattlereconomy.org to sign up
