The Southwest Women's Fiber Arts Collective (SWFAC) in collaboration with the Future Forge Makerspace, is offering community members free mending of clothes and teaching how to mend clothes. This free program will be held at the Future Forge located at 307 East College Ave on Saturday, September 19, 2026 from 10 am to 12 noon.

Do you have a favorite shirt that has a tear or needs a button replaced? What about those favorite pants that have a tear in the pocket? Don't toss them, come and have them repaired for free! In September, we will be doing all mending by hand.

Mending clothes is one of the methods we can all do to keep good clothing out of our landfill. SWFAC members will be on hand to mend the items, and community members who learn how to mend with the SWFAC members, will receive a small sewing kit.
