Do you have an overly loved personal item in need of repair? Threads that need patching up?
UQ’s Repair Café aims to fix items that would otherwise go to landfill, and teach stdents and staff skills to repair their own broken items, all while enjoying a chat.
Bring Your Items: Got a torn favourite shirt or a pair of jeans that need some love? Bring them in!
Learn and Repair: Participate in sewing workshops or simply observe and learn the art of sewing repair.
The UQ Repair Café is a partnership between Engineers Without Borders UQ, UQ Innovate and the Sustainability Office.
To get involved, join the Repair Cafe Facebook Group.
