🪡 Textile repair (both machine and hand mending): Do you have a hole in jeans that needs fixing, a sock or knitted item in want of repair, a worn quilt, or a stuffed toy that needs some TLC? We have menders who can either do the repair, show you how or diagnose the issue so it can be fixed at a later date. (Note: if you need a special part, such as a zipper to fix a broken one, please bring the replacement part with you.). We also offer sewing machine adjustments.

🔌 Small appliance repair: Our team of fixers will attempt to repair your small electrical household items, like toasters, table lamps, etc. Sorry, we can’t repair bigger products, as it would be logistically challenging given the limited scope of the event. Note: recent electrical household items with electronics (screens, etc.) are typically more difficult to repair than older electrical items, but feel free to bring any small electrical items along - we can at least take a quick look!

💬 Human connection repair: We speak often, but how often do we feel heard? Feeling heard can increase a sense of connection and decrease loneliness. Fifteen-minute long blocks of "listening repair" will be available at this repair café event.

💍 Jewelry: a jewelry repair table will also be set up at the event! Broken links or clasps will be repaired, re-stringing of beads, or gluing of separated cabochons (or similar) will be performed. Not-broken but "poor fit" improvements may also be possible (e.g. chain extensions can allow too-small jewellery to be lengthened; extra large jump hoops can be added to improve ease of attaching clasp).
