Repair Day November 2026 - Clothing Repair

We are excited to be partnering with Re Place to run free clothes mending sessions across the day with the expert artistry of Ryder Spankie. Repairs with Ryder are all about giving your wardrobe a second life ♻️rather than contributing in endless cycles of consumption. Ryder specialises in working with existing garments to reduce waste and keep textiles out of landfill. Whether it’s repairing, resizing, or completely redesigning a piece, every fabric is reused with care and creativity. Transform your unworn favourites, Ryder will help turn what’s been sitting in your wardrobe into something you’ll love and wear again. ✨ Bring your garments back to life. ✨ Reduce waste. ✨ Wear your story, sustainably. —————- List of what can be repaired on the day. - replace a button - replace a hook & eye - replace elastic (skirt, shorts) - replace cord (shorts, trackpants) - repair a seam - resize shorten straps (top, dress) - resize shorten hem denim jeans - repair a hole or worn area (up to 3cm) ❤️ From a series of pre-made decorative patches Where: Re Place (towards the middle of the site on the right as you enter the Inner west Sustainability Hub from Prospect Rd).
