Keeping Pants Alive Longer Manurewa

Every year thousands of pairs of jeans, shorts and other pants end up in landfill when they could be saved with some patience, care and a little creativity!

But it can be hard to know where to start. Typically, knees and thighs are the high stress areas that need mending and reinforcing and we’ll work on these in several inspiring ways at this fun, rewarding workshop.

Bring along one or two pairs of pants that you’d like to fix up and enjoy wearing again. It’s all about re-making to last. Don’t have anything to bring just now? No problem. We can supply a pair of pants for you to learn on.

Sewing machines, needles, threads, old clothes to patch with… and the odd interesting button provided.

Come and join us at one of Auckland’s best community hubs and recycling centres, The Beautification Trust. Tea and coffee making facilities available for all.

See you there in the maker space!
