Ever wished you could give your worn-out clothes or well-loved furniture a second life? Now you can!Join us at our weekly Repair Café every Saturday from 10am-2pm!
The Full Circle Collective, located at 437 Hunter Street, is a community-driven space where sustainability meets hands-on creativity. Equipped with workbenches, sewing machines, and a variety of tools, this initiative is designed to empower our community to embrace repair, reuse, and upcycling.
What we repair:
� Clothing
� Textiles
� Small furniture
� Toys
� Carpentry
Cost:
Repairs = Pay-what-you-can donation - to keep repair accessible and encourage repair over disposal. Donations help us pay our sewists fairly and keep this service accessible to everyone.
Alterations = Set pricing - because they are elective and often more complex. Please ask to see our pricing list. It costs us approximately $1.40 per minute to operate the repair space.
This is based on:
- Skilled sewist wages
- Consumables (thread, needles, machine wear, electricity)
- Admin + space costs
When you repair with us, you’re not just fixing an item - you’re supporting a small, local environmental charity that champions reuse over waste. Repair keeps clothing in use, reduces waste, and builds skills.
Donations help us pay our sewists fairly and keep this service accessible to everyone.
