More and more people are making a conscious choice to impact the environment in a positive way by refashioning and mending their clothes.
They proudly wear their patches and mends done in contrasting thread like a badge of honour or as a visible protest against fast fashion.
The goal of Frameworq, a design lab promoting sustainability through workshops and events, is to divert textiles from ending up in the landfill and bring repair skills back to use with patches, darning and stitches.
Free Textile Fix-Its workshops are being offered at Delta libraries where participants will learn skills and access supplies to mend clothes. Everyone is welcome and no experience is needed.
Drop-in workshops will be held on Saturday, Feb. 24 at the Ladner Pioneer Library and Saturday, March 3 at the Tsawwassen Library. Both run from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
