We love restoring t.shirts and crews, saving 7.5 of CO2e in the process. So if you have a top or t.shirt needing a quick fix (think moth holes, popped seams, loose threads, or small holes - then come along to see how it can be fixed with hand mending.
Because againery realise that most people don't want to learn how to hand-sew on their ACTUAL clothes you also get the support of the againery menderverse - and host Kirsty O'Hara - who are will bring the good vibes to this pop-up event up at 2/57 Willis as part of their FIXer collection.
Every fix: will count toward this year's Repair Festival tally #lesssgo
Please Bring: 1 top or t.shirt (ideally one with a small hole, stitching or small tear to repair)
