Do you have an overly loved personal item in need of repair? Threads that need patching up?
Toss it? No way!
Bring them to UQ’s Repair Café and they will be fixed for free by our apprentice fixers. UQ’s Repair Café aims to fix items that would otherwise go to landfill, and teach students and staff skills to repair their own broken items, all while enjoying a cuppa and chat.
Repairs undertaken at this event:
- Sewing repairs only, such as clothes, household furnishings, bags and even simple upholstery jobs
To be sure we can fix your item we require people to register before turning up. Please register your repair here.
The Repair Café is a partnership between Engineers Without Borders UQ, UQ Innovate and the Sustainability Office. Join the Repair Cafe Facebook Group.
