Repair Remix & Rewear Events | Mar 17 - Mar 23

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

Calling in from Houston this week, still feeling full from a delicious Viet-Cajun crawfish dinner last night. Tons of great clothing repair / mending / upcycling events this coming week and month in NYC, including my own Darning Workshop on Sunday, co-hosted with Old Flame Mending. Hope to meet / see some of you there!
