Repair Remix & Rewear Events | May 5 - May 11
Weekly roundup of NYC & virtual events for repairing, remixing / upcycling, and rewearing your clothes!
An aside before jumping into this week’s event roundup - anyone know an illustrator that might be interested in doing a small project? A few weeks back, a reader commented that this newsletter reminded them of Daily Candy and I haven’t gotten the thought out of my head… I loved their illustrations and thought it’d be fun to try something similar here!
Also want to announce another Next Season workshop coming soon, Intro to Darning & Knit Repair on May 20th - co-hosted with fellow circular fashion friend & inspiration HYER GOODS 💚
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!
