Ngaio Repair Café introduces a new service!

Sandi from Crofton Downs

On 16 September we will be trialing hand sewing and knitwear repair.

The type of repairs we envision doing are quick repairs such as sewing button/s on, a small hole in a jersey or a hole in a seam. We won’t be darning socks.

●Please bring along matching wool for knitwear.

●We have some standard buttons but if you want a particular type or colourbutton then bring it along.

10am - 1pm, Ngaio Union Church, corner Crofton Road and Kenya St.
See you there!!!

Please comment below if you think you would use this sort of service

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
