Repair Remix & Rewear Events | Apr 14 - Apr 20

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

Spending the morning relaxing after a full weekend working @ Renegade Craft Market - it was so nice to see / catch up with friends!

I’ve continued to add new events through the rest of the month as well. Next week in particular is super packed with upcoming Earth Day (April 22nd) and Fashion Revolution Week (4/22-27) including Mend in Public day (April 26th). Take a look below, especially if you like to plan your activities out further in advance! As always - please let me know if I’ve missed anything, I love to add more to the list throughout the week / month.

FYI ALSO - I’ve learned how to create ‘sections’ within this newsletter, separating out this weekly Repair Remix & Rewear Event roundup into it’s own section, which will allow you to opt in / out of receiving it without unsubscribing from the newsletter as a whole. I know some of you all aren’t in NYC and maybe don’t care to receive a weekly event roundup :) You can manage your subscription in ‘Account Settings’ (your.substack.com/account), and don’t hesitate to let me know if you have questions, I’m happy to help you navigate.

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!
