Repair Café

Have you got items of clothing that need basic repairs but you lack the skills or equipment to fix it?

Join us at the first local repair café of lake Macquarie where we will be focusing on clothing repairs.

Bring along clothing that is in need of repair and under direct guidance you can learn how to fix the garment yourself. Repairs will be offered such as hemming pants and skirts, fixing holes, patching split seams or small tears, replacing fasteners such as buttons, zips and press studs, taking in or letting out simple seams. (We won't be refashioning entire garments.) And if you have nothing to repair, you can simply enjoy a cup of tea or coffee, be inspired by the reading table, learn some new repair skills from our volunteers or lend a hand with someone else’s repair job.

There will be someone from Warners Bay SNG for advising and assisting with sharpening of hand tools.

Help grow the repair café and let us know of items that you'd like to get advice about for repairing.
