👗Why Mending Matters:
Mending is more than just stitching—it's a statement. It’s about valuing what we already have, reducing waste, and expressing creativity.
By participating, you'll join a global collective taking action against the cycle of excess through repair and reuse. All skill levels are welcome, so whether you're a seasoned stitcher or a curious beginner, we invite you to become a Fashion Revolutionary!
