Australians are textile addicts! We are the world’s second largest consumer of textiles per person (behind only the US) and send over 6000 kilograms of clothing and textile waste to landfill every 10 minutes. Let’s learn to love, mend, repurpose and take care of our clothing.

Missing a button? Needing to stitch a hem or patch a hole? Come along to our mending circle run in partnership with the Council’s sustainability team and the CWA at the at Moruya Library to learn basic hand-sewing techniques so we can love our clothes for longer.

Please bring one or two items of clothing that need repair. Scissors, needles and a random selection of buttons and thread will be provided. If you require specific items such as particular button/thread, thimble or thread picker, please bring it along. We do encourage you to embrace the beauty of mismatch and visible mending.

Free event. Bookings are essential. Spaces are limited.
