The next of our January events will be our first 2023 Repair Café, also taking place at Thurso Youth Club! This repair café will be a wee bit different though, as we’ll be having three distinct ‘stations’ set up at the Youth Club.
General Repairs, David Sutherland will be manning this station to help with your day to day items, which we’d still like you to note down on the form, just so we know exactly what we’ll be showing you how to fix!
Bicycle Doctor, a station manned by the fab George Ewing from Cycle UK who will be available to help teach folks how to fix their bikes if they’ve run into an issue.
Clothes Mending, manned by our lovely Food Coordinator Sara-Jane who will be flexing her sewing skills to show folks a variety of techniques, including simple mending, patching, darning, Japanese Boro stitching (a beautiful traditional method of visible mending), Re-sewing seams, hems, and sewing buttons back on.
Booking in for the café is free, we’d just like to have a list of what’s being brought along so we’re ready to help folks fix when they arrive!
