Repair Remix & Rewear Events | Apr 28 - May 4

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

It’s a bit of a quiet week for mending & upcycling events after such a busy Earth Month to date - BUT, there are still some great workshops & classes on tap. I’ve started rounding up May events as well, you can check those out at the bottom of the newsletter.

Also, in my research for this week’s roundup I came across a new-to-me mending & repair service here in NYC: KEEP, offering ‘invisible’ swiss darning for sweaters as well as denim repair! I’ve gone ahead and added KEEP to my directory of professional knitwear repair services and educational resources, for future reference…

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!
