Mend-It Cafe: Sew it, Don't Throw it!

Build Community, Reduce Textile Waste, Repair Your Clothes

Choose REPAIR & REPURPOSE over replace! Help grow the repair economy in Spokane. We'll fix your torn jeans, fallen hem, broken zipper and more!

Mend-It Cafe is part of the repair economy. We fix clothing and other textiles, for free, to extend their life and keep them out of the waste stream.

You're invited to gather up a few items that need repair and join us in shifting culture to one that values the resources that go into making textile items and preserving them for as long as possible.

This is a first-come, first-served event. All items must be picked up by the end of the program.

Please note: we may not be able to fix all items due to the type of materials used - we'll do our best though!
