Bring your worn-out jackets, jeans with split knees, or shirts missing buttons to The Great Global Mend, Australia's biggest simultaneous repair event. Whether you're a sewing novice or just eager to learn, friendly menders will be on hand to guide you through the process. This is a fantastic opportunity to breathe new life into your favourite clothes while reducing waste.
This event welcomes all ages and skill levels, making it a perfect family-friendly activity. You don’t need to bring any sewing experience; just bring yourself and, if you have one, a basic hand-sewing kit. Everything else you need will be provided.
Join a nationwide community movement to mend and reuse, supporting sustainability and creativity in your local area.
The Great Global Mend takes place on Saturday, 7 November 2026, from 10:00 to 12:00. The event is free, but registration is required to secure your spot. It is presented in partnership with FabPatch and Care to Rewear, ensuring expert guidance and a welcoming atmosphere.
This is a hands-on workshop where you will learn practical mending skills that you can use at home. It’s a great way to engage children and adults alike in sustainable practices while having fun.
All materials except your personal sewing kit (optional) will be supplied, so you can just show up ready to mend and connect with others.
The event is hosted at the City of Vincent Library, located at 244 Vincent Street (corner Loftus Street), Leederville, Western Australia, 6007. The library is easily accessible by public transport and has facilities to accommodate all visitors.
Parking is available nearby, and the venue is accessible for people with disabilities. This central location makes it convenient for families living in and around the City of Vincent.
Enjoy a welcoming community space where you can learn new skills and meet like-minded people passionate about sustainability.

Bring a basic hand-sewing kit if you have one, but don’t worry if you don’t – all other materials and tools will be provided.
This is a national initiative, so you’ll be part of a larger community effort to reduce textile waste and promote sustainable living.
