Event Details

UofL's Sustainability Council is hosting a Repair Fair in partnership with Sit n' Stitch! Repair fairs are a great opportunity for people to keep items out of landfills, foster a repair mindset, gain vital repair skills, and to connect with a community of others passionate about repair. Participants will also become more familiar with the effort that goes into the creation of their everyday items, encouraging them to become more mindful consumers! By participating in repair fairs, we can all REDUCE our consumption--a vital part of any circular economy—which saves participants money and saves resources! We are also able to escape from our silos and connect across disciplines!

Participants will sign up for 30-minute increments, partnering with a repairer to bring life to their used or broken items.  Sit n' Stitch will also be holding a small fabrics repair class for people to practice and learn hand sewing techniques! Walk-ins are welcome but a spot cannot be guaranteed! Sign up to be a Repairer! Sign up for repair!

Our Goals: 
- Repair items and keep them out of landfills;
- Connect repair minded individuals from across disciplines;
- Foster community;
- Teach repair skills; and
- Save students, staff, and faculty money!
