Join us for our Just Sew - October edition!

Got a tear, a missing button, or a hem that’s come undone? Don’t toss it - fix it! Our monthly Just Sew sessions are all about giving your clothing and textile items a second life. This 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. We will have sewing machines, needles, thread, and a selection of patches and buttons ready for you. If you have something special you would like to use, feel free to bring it along.

Our skilled volunteers will be here to help with repairs such as holes, tears, hems and missing buttons. Whether you are completely new to sewing or just need a bit of guidance, we will support you through it.  

These sessions are held at Te Aro Zero Waste 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 10 spots in each. Please arrive on the hour for the session you’ve booked - it helps things run smoothly.

Bookings are prioritised, but we will do our best to fit in walk-ins if there’s space.

At times there may be a small wait, please feel free to explore Te Aro Zero Waste Centre, enjoy a cuppa, or settle in with a book and a chat.

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.
