Join the Sustainability Club for our second clothing swap of the semester, and stick around to practice some visible mending techniques!
Clothing Swap:
Refresh your wardrobe and donate your unwanted clothes! Drop off your clothing in the Pit on Wednesday, November 25th, or in the morning on November 26th in the designated bins. Don't have clothes to donate? No worries! Please help yourself to any of the clothing. Trades not necessary.
Visible Mending Workshop:
Visible mending is a creative approach to repairing torn or worn-out textiles by highlighting the fix as an intentional design feature rather than trying to hide it. In this hands-on workshop, we will practice embroidery stitching and patchwork to breathe new life into damaged clothing!
This initiative gives clothing a second chance at life (advancing SDG 12, responsible consumption and production and SDG 15, life on land) and helps low income students access free clothing (SDG 1, no poverty). Clothing waste and pollution is a major issue across the globe and is fuelled by the fast fashion industry. Say no to buying new, and yes to second-hand and clothing repair!
