Be part of something big! WMRC and Studio Thimbles are bringing Perth together for a fun, hands-on sewing workshop and an attempt to set a record for the most people mending at the same time ✂️

Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned sewer, this event is all about keeping textiles in use, learning simple repair techniques, and celebrating the power of community action. Bring along an item of clothing that is in need of some TLC whether it is missing a button, a loose hem, or a small tear, we’ll provide guidance, sewing supplies, and plenty of encouragement.
