Repair Remix & Rewear Events | Apr 21 - Apr 27

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

SO many repair / remix / rewear events to choose from this week (20+ in NYC alone)…. because it’s Earth Day on Wednesday and Fashion Revolution Week / Mend in Public Day on Saturday 🎉

If Earth Day (& spring weather) is inspiring you to get outside & get your hands dirty instead, check out

Jasmine H.

‘s Earth Week Roundup.

Green Events Hub

always has a fantastic roundup of NYC green events & volunteering opps.

Earth Week 2025| NYC Green Events

And for any non-NYC readers, if you’re interested in participating in Fashion Revolution Week / Mend in Public Day, there are events happening all over the world, take a look and find something local to you!

Finally, a shameless plug for my own Intro to Upcycled Knitting Workshop on Sunday 4/27 - it’ll be a fun and low key weekend wind down event :)
