We typically mend: 🔧mechanical, electrical, electronic and wooden objects; 🚲 bikes, 🔨 furniture, 🍵 glass and ceramics, 🎻 musical instruments, 💻 IT hardware and software and vintage valve radios. 👗Clothing repairers usually mend: woollens, zips, hems and seams by machine and by hand. 🌷 Horticultural advice and 💻 website and software fixing also now on offer.
There will be refreshments served - tea, coffee, squash and bite-sized delicious nibbles.
Joining us this time we have the wonderful sustainable fashion project 'With Love From...' - Lizzie has created a shared wardrobe of occasion-wear, beautiful party clothing, footwear and accessories, based in Oswestry Library, which can be borrowed for free, just as you might borrow books. They are on a mission to reduce the environmental and ethical impact of fashion through the promotion of better choices, encouraging people to slow down their shopping habits and instead to repair, re-wear, share and care for clothing that already exists. With the help of our fantastic sewing fixperts we hope to repair some of their tired and damaged items.
Looking forward to seeing you again!
You can also still contact the group here on Facebook for remote guidance through a fix or to arrange a drop-off and collect repair.
At repair cafes volunteer fixperts are available to mend items and tools and materials are on hand. People visiting the repair café bring along their broken belongings to be fixed. They sit with the fixperts to learn how to make the repair themselves. Tea, home-made cakes and newspapers are available while they wait.
All donations are very welcome and are essential in keeping the repair cafes running by funding vital materials.
