Stitch Together: A Community Mending Project
Grab something from your mending pile and join us for the Stitch Together Community Mending Project, a drop-in, DIY mending program offered through the Guelph Tool Library.
Visitors can bring their clothing and textiles that need mending and work with volunteers that will teach them how – we’ll provide the sewing machines, stitching supplies, and friendly mending support. In addition to mending, our volunteers are happy to provide support for folks new to sewing that are looking to improve their skills and confidence.
All ages and skill levels are welcome.
Come stitch together and repair your loved clothing, learn new skills, and keep textile waste out of our landfill. Remember: mending is the new spending!
Stitch Together sessions take place twice per month (generally on the second and fourth Mondays of each month, unless impacted by a holiday) at the Guelph Tool Library – upcoming dates are listed
below, and can always be found on the Guelph Tool Library calendar.
No registration is required for these drop-in events, and supplies will be available for use, but participants are also welcome to bring their own. Stitch Together is a volunteer-run initiative, and there is no cost to participate, but donations are welcome!
Upcoming Sessions:
Monday, April 27th from 12-2 pm
Monday, May 11th from 6-8
Monday, May 25th from 12-2pm.
Save the date for INTERNATIONAL MEND IN PUBLIC DAY. On Saturday, April 25, Stitch Together will be hosting a mending gathering at the Main Branch of the Guelph Public Library from 12-2 p.m. – all are welcome! Come mend with us to make mending visible in our community and to celebrate repair and the slow fashion revolution!
