Come along to our May Just Sew session for 2025.

Repairing rather than buying new is a great way to take climate action in your own life – and learn new skills along the way. 

Book below and bring along 1-2 clothing or lightweight household items (cushion covers etc) for repair – all needles, thread, and sewing machines will be supplied. We will supply a selection of patches and buttons, but you are also welcome to bring your own if you have something specific in mind. 

Our skilled volunteers will be here to assist you with repairs such as missing buttons, tears, holes and hemming. There will also be a DIY table for those who are confident at sewing alone but may not have access to a machine at home. 

These sessions will be held at Sustainability Trust on the first Saturday of every month, from 1-4 pm. 

Bookings are necessary - click below to reserve your spot!

The afternoon is split into three one hour sessions (1-2 pm, 2-3 pm, 3- 4 pm) with 8-10 spots in each - please arrive ON the hour of the session you book. 

At times, there may be a small waiting time, we invite you to bring your favourite book, check out the Zero Waste Centre or meet a new friend while you enjoy some light refreshments. 

Due to time constraints please only bring 1-2 items for repair so we can ensure everyone’s items have the opportunity to be fixed.

These workshops are made possible thanks to funding from Wellington City Council, Nikau Foundation and support from Repair Café Aotearoa NZ and Repair Café International.
