We’re excited to be offering a Monthly Community Mending & Crafting Session! We are grateful to the wonderful folks at J. Albert Walker Funeral Home for supporting our community-building initiative by graciously offering us their space. The ground-floor space has lots of parking and is also on bus routes.
Bring your torn jeans, half-finished knitwear, broken treasures, or any craft project you’ve been meaning to get back to. Whether you’re an experienced maker or just figuring things out, come fix, make, share skills, and chat together.
No project? No problem! Come have a cup of tea, meet some neighbours, learn something new, or simply spend some time making alongside others.
What to Expect
🧵 The Repair Station
A shared table stocked with needles, thread, patches, fabric scissors, and other supplies for simple textile repairs.
✂️ The Maker Space
Bring whatever you’re working on — scrapbooking, sketching, knitting, jewelry making, or something entirely different. We’ll have table space and power outlets available.
🧶 The Supply Swap
Have leftover yarn, fabric scraps, buttons, beads, or other supplies taking up space at home? Bring them along to swap, share, or give a new life to someone else’s project.
🍵 Tea & Snacks
There will be tea and a few snacks. You’re welcome to bring a snack to share with the group if you’d like.
✨ Feature Project / Skill Spotlight
Our hope is to have a different featured skill or project each month. This is most suited for something people can pick and do at their own pace, but the format is still very flexible.If you would like to make an offering, please let me know!
At the end, we’ll take a few minutes for a casual show & tell — a chance to share what you made, fixed, learned, or worked on.
Need a little help getting here? Bus tickets are available at the event. (Please ask Melissa)
Accessibility note: This location is all on one floor with a short ramp and flat threshold access. If you have any questions, please email me at [email protected] or ask our active community on our Facebook page.
There is no need to book a ticket for this event, but I would love it if you could share a comment on the post so I can get excited to see you there.
Come for the mending, stay for the making and the company!
Melissa
