Repair Remix & Rewear Events | Apr 7 - Apr 13

Weekly roundup of NYC & virtual events for repairing, remixing / upcycling, and rewearing your clothes!

Glad to be back in NYC after a weekend away! This week I’ll be heads down in prep for Renegade Craft next weekend - I have a potential bag design in mind (I’ve been toying with the idea of bags for months now) and I want to make a few this week and bring them to the fair as an experiment…

It’s another good week of mending / upcycling / clothing swap / dyeing events, nearly 20 in NYC this week alone and many more upcoming especially around Earth Day (April 22nd) and Fashion Revolution Week (4/22-27) including Mend in Public day (April 26th). I’m very sure that more events will pop up this month - so stay tuned…!

If you’re hosting / aware of an NYC-based or virtual event dedicated to repairing / mending, upcycling, or rewearing your clothes, please reach out - I’d love to include it in this weekly roundup!
