We are a collective of amateur makers and menders committed to promoting repair and reuse of clothing. Currently popping up @uochester, soon around Chester
Joined February 2019
It was fab to be back with our patch packs yesterday at @uochester. We taught some basic sewing skills and helped with some fancy customisation. Was particularly nice to do this in front of @AmyTwiggerH's wonderful #fashionfictions World Tour exhibition.

Ooh, definitely of interest to us, too! Knowing materials through #craft is critical for more sustainable consumption. We'll be there on 16 May!.

Lots more mends from today - buttons reattached, seams re-sewn and hems hitched! Thanks for having us @UoCVolunteering 😁

Excellent toe-darning in progress. This is an awkward mend, as we haven't had access to a small darning mushroom - a glue stick is doing the job(ish)!

It's great to be back with our first on-campus Pop-Up Patch Challenge of the year! Sock-darning, hem-mending, denim-patching. It's all going on! Bring us your repairs!

Anyone who patches, darns or otherwise fixes with us will be able to take home a mini repair kit, complete with one of our new PUPC labels! 😁

Warming up for our first in-person #popuppatchchallenge since the start of the pandemic with a little light sock darning. If you're at Exton Park @uochester on 17 March, pop over to Grosvenor and bring your loose buttons, dropped hems or other garment gripes - we can help!

We so enjoyed sharing ideas for repairs and repurposings at today's @EcoCommunities_ 'Breaking Up with Fast Fashion' event. Was great to team up with Molly and Stan - loads of inspiration for new things to try - although Stan's parrot waistcoat will take some beating!
