Great Global Mend and Clothes Swap – City of Armadale
Join Switch Your Thinking for a bit of collective mending and participate in our clothes swap while you’re at it!
The Great Global Mend is Australia’s biggest simultaneous repair event: hundreds of people across the country, everyone mending something at the same time, in an attempt to break our 2025 record (298 menders) for the most people repairing textiles simultaneously. Switch Your Thinking and the City of Armadale are proud to be taking part this year.
You don’t need any sewing experience; menders will help you fix your item from scratch, whether that’s sewing on a button, patching a hole with a FabPatch, or mending a hem. Bring a basic hand-sewing kit if you have one, or just bring yourself; we have everything covered.
We’ll also be running a clothes swap on the day! You’re invited to bring up to 10 items of good quality, clean clothing (no underwear or shoes, please) to add to the clothes swap. And you will be able to take up to 10 pieces of clothing home with you.
Doors open at 9:00 am
Clothes swap from 10:00 am – 10:45 am
Great Global Mend commences at 11 am sharp!
Morning tea will be provided.
Registration is essential, and places are limited, so register now to avoid missing out!
