Repair It Lake Mac began hosting Repair Cafes in 2018 and just when the movement was accelerating, Covid-19 hit and put everything on hold. In 2022 we kicked off again, this time tracking some important data.

We're so proud of the impact we've had so far.

Thank you to our wonderful volunteers who make this possibleđź«¶and to the community members who continue to support our events.

Calling all sewists, quilters and makers! 🧵✨

Hunter Fabric Destash is back with a huge range of end‑of‑stock fabrics, excess bridal and dress materials, haberdashery, patterns and more. It’s the perfect low‑waste way to refresh your stash and uncover unique, affordable textiles.

Stallholder spots always sell out fast, which means plenty of variety for shoppers. General admission is a gold coin donation or book online. Many sellers take cash, so bring some along to snag the best bargains. Come browse, stock up and support a creative, community‑minded reuse event.
