Your Clothes Hold a Story, let’s Share It! Join our free mending workshop this Saturday 18.10.2025 at 12.30-3PM at Musiikkitalo, Helsinki, in collaboration with the Sierra Leone Cultural Expo
Bring your beloved clothes and share your story! “Love Story of Our Clothes - vaatteidemme rakkaustarina” is a collaborative community project on memories, repair and human connection. We care for our clothes, people and the planet.
How it works:
1. “Kahvia ja pullaa” We meet, chat and enjoy.
2. We listen to each other’s stories and mend the clothes you bring.
3. Let us capture the story of your clothes on video and photo.
Remember to bring your beloved clothes!
