SEWING SEWCIAL: Reuse, Rewear, Relove – Mending & Clothing Repair Sewcials

We are excited to share our new Monthly SEWING SEWCIAL events: “Reuse, Rewear, Relove – Mending & Clothing Repair Sewcials”. ​ The second one will be Saturday, December 21st. ​ There will be a morning session from 9am to 1pm, and an afternoon session from noon to 4pm! ☀ ​

These events are monthly community gatherings where participants are invited into our sewing studio to repair, mend, upcycle and restyle their clothing. We will share sewing techniques for repairing and mending clothing in each session. The purpose of the program is to keep textile waste out of the landfill. ​ After each sewcial, we will weigh the clothing and keep track of how much we have been able to save. Lunch will be provided and the event will be an opportunity for the community to connect. Join us for these sewcials to gather together, sew, chat, and enjoy lunch! ​ ​ Space is limited per session so be sure to register in advance by emailing thesewinghui@gmail.com. This event is open to anyone – so please tell your friends, spread the word. ​

Let’s keep clothing out of the landfill! ​ ​ Mahalo to the County of Maui Recycling Grants Program for supporting this new initiative!
