Scott Zager and Leah Klearman with mended favorite pantsThe Southwest Women's Fiber Arts Collective (SWFAC) in collaboration with the Future Forge Makerspace, is offering community members free mending of clothes and teaching how to mend clothes. This free program will be held at the Future Forge located at 307 East College Ave on Saturday, July 19, 2025 from 10 am to 12 noon.
Did you know that 66% of unwanted clothes and textiles wind up in the landfill? Or that less than 15% are recycled and the rest, 19% are burned? Mending Our Ways is a program to help reduce clothing waste by teaching community members how to mend and offering free mending of clothes. On the 19th, community members can bring one item that needs a simple repair like replacing a button or a tear in a shirt or pants.
Mending clothes is one of the methods we can all do to keep good clothing out of our landfill. SWFAC members will be on hand to mend the items, and community members who learn how to mend with the SWFAC members, will receive a small sewing kit.
Each mending day brings different items to be mended and the SWFAC menders meet each challenge! At the last mending day, Dani Leingang brought in on of her favorite summer dresses to be repaired and Leah Klearman was able to repair the dress in time for summer!
