Repair Your Jeans & Shirts: Offline Workshop

Got a hole in your favorite jeans or a shirt you’re not ready to give up on yet? Bring it along! 💼✨

Together, we’ll spend three relaxed, phone-free hours repairing our clothes and learning to give damaged pieces a second life. ♻️🧵

You’ll learn a simple form of visible mending inspired by the Japanese sashiko technique. Using patches and small, rice-grain-like stitches, we’ll repair holes and worn-out areas instead of trying to hide them. 🎌✨

The workshop will be led by Tina Zickler, founder and head of the Repair Festival Vienna, with two members of her team. With a maximum of 25 participants, there will be plenty of time for individual guidance and hands-on support throughout the workshop. 🤝

What to bring:

• One to three damaged or worn-out items made from:
  • Denim 👖
  • Sturdy cotton
  • Other strong, non-stretchy fabrics

Jeans and sturdy cotton shirts work best!

Please avoid bringing knitwear, woolen jumpers, or very thin and stretchy fabrics, as this repair technique won’t work properly on them. ❌🧥

The goal is simple: learn how to repair your own clothes, slow down for an evening, and connect with like-minded people. 😌💬

Best case: you leave with a new skill, repaired favorite pieces, and some new friends. Worst case: you still go home with repaired clothes, spent a nice evening without your phone, and met some lovely people. 🎉

Venue:

• Location: Superbude Vienna, Prater, Perspektivstr. 8, 1020 Wien, Austria

Refunds: We ask you to cancel at least one week before the workshop if you can no longer attend to receive a full refund. After that, unfortunately, refunds won’t be possible.

Put your F*cking phone away and discover who you are without it! 📵
