Book signing and mending circle
Join us at The Loop for Yodomo’s Circular Economy event, where Janelle will be signing copies of Jean Jeanius and sharing tips on how to keep your favourite jeans in use and out of landfill.
We’ll be hosting a mending circle— bring your own jeans or practise your stitching on one of our samples. Drop in anytime, or join one of the demos at 2pm and 3.30pm where I’ll show how to fix common denim malfunctions with just a needle, thread and a few patches.
Besides denim, you can buy reclaimed materials from Yodomo and shop the Are you Mad sample sale.
Come say hi, celebrate local recycling networks, and give your denim a little TLC.
