Please keep in mind we do repairs only – no alterations. Zipper replacements may not be possible at every event, as we are dependent on the skill levels of the volunteers that day.

Want to spend the afternoon sewing, learn new skills, and meet new people? Volunteer with us! We’re always looking for new menders. All skill levels are welcome. To sign up for this event, visit app.repairathon.com.
