Description

Mindful Mending Repair Workshop

Learn the timeless skill of mending your clothes and other fabric items instead of tossing them out, whilst cultivating moments of mindfulness and self-care. Bring something from your mending pile and save it from going to landfill. Learn visible hand mending and basic sewing machine techniques to use on your clothes, toys, soft furnishings, blankets, or anywhere your imagination takes you. Techniques include adjusting hemlines, fixing buttons, zips and worn elastic, reshaping garments, darning, patchwork and embroidery.

Limited to 15 attendees. Please book via Humanitix.

Brought to you by EcoMatters, Mindful Mending, and West Auckland Resource Centre, with support from Repair Café Aotearoa New Zealand and the Whau Climate Action Network.

This event is part of Auckland Climate Festival 2023.

EcoMatters Repair Workshops

EcoMatters Environment Trust aims to connect people and place and to nurture kaitiakitanga (guardianship).

Based in Auckland in Aotearoa New Zealand, EcoMatters is an established charitable trust that was formed in 2002. We work with and for the community to deliver environmental initiatives in partnership with key entities like Auckland Council, the Ministry for the Environment, other not-for-profits and community groups.

We do this by supporting the community with knowledge and tools to restore nature, grow food, reduce waste, ride and fix bikes, and live more sustainably. We also run workshops and provide opportunities for hands-on environmental action in Auckland.
