How to Mend Your Clothes with Everyone Needs Pockets

Holes in your clothes? Button fallen off? Tear in a favourite shirt? Things lying about waiting for that mend? Here’s your opportunity to fix them in this hands on session.

Volunteer stitchers and menders from the Everyone Needs Pockets Textile Reuse Network can help work out what needs doing and how to fix it, supporting you to mend your own clothes.

What we can help with:

• Buttons and fasteners
• Taking up hems and some fitting adjustments
• Mending and darning holes
• Advice on how you might repair a piece of clothing, including zips.

This session is at Frome Boulder Rooms – a wonderful venue – you can watch everyone climbing and mend your clothes. And there’s a cafe with drinks and snacks available to purchase.

Come and enjoy a relaxed social atmosphere of mending your clothes. These sessions are designed for all abilities and many different kind of repairs. Children under 16 must be accompanied by a parent or responsible adult throughout the session.
