On Saturday, the 20th of April, join Fashion Revolution on the streets for their first global Mend In Public Day. The idea is simple: get out into your local community and stitch in protest against disposable fashion. Amidst busy Saturday shoppers, participants will repair torn pockets and broken seams and spark conversations on making Loved Clothes Last.

Mend in Public Day stands as a beacon of change in a world inundated with fashion waste. By participating, you’ll be part of a global creative action resisting the cycle of excess through repair and reuse. Get your repair pile (or other fibre crafts!) ready.

Find a Mend In Public Day event near you, or host your own. All skill levels and Fashion Revolutionaries are welcome! Mending in Public is part of the Fashion Revolution Week – https://www.fashionrevolution.org/frw-24/

The website includes video instructions on several methods of darning and mending clothing.
