Participants will learn practical mending skills with support from volunteers and experienced makers in a welcoming, social environment. The event aims to make clothing repair more accessible, extend the life of garments, reduce textile waste, and encourage people to see mending as a creative and valuable alternative to throwing clothing away.
The Mending Café will create an opportunity for intergenerational knowledge-sharing and community connection while supporting SFWC's 2026 theme, “Threads of Resistance.”
