Repair cafe open this weekend
THE Warrnambool Repair Café will be open for business once again tomorrow, Saturday, June 7.
Volunteers are expecting a steady stream of visitors when the repair café holds its next session this weekend.
The repair café can be found at the West Warrnambool Neighbourhood House in Pectan Avenue Park.
Accessible parking is available at 10 Carolyn Crescent, Warrnambool.
The café will be open from 10am until 12 noon, with volunteers on hand to fix, stitch and repair various items.
This free community event encourages locals to reuse and renew household items such as bicycles, clothing, garden tools, toys, furniture and more.
Following the ‘reuse/recycle’ message, the Warrnambool Community Garden will host a ‘sip and stitch’ session on Saturday, July 26.
During the session, participants will have the opportunity to learn basic repair techniques – including patching, hemming and sewing on buttons – that will save clothes and money.
This session will be held at the Warrnambool Community Garden, 2 Grieve Street, Warrnambool.
