New volunteers Gabriel & Alina joined the team yesterday & started fixing right away. A forest school teacher brought in a split hammock (unfortunately unsave-able). Three sewing machines were fixed & two out of three rattan children's chairs. Also Christmas lights, various lamps, a handbag and a jacket zip, this last one fixed ingeniously using superglue and accelerator.
We advise that your minimum donation should be a fiver: be aware that we need to cover the hire of the hall & insurance costs, plus glue, batteries, etc.

Now THIS is a repair!

Our brilliant Repair Café volunteers took on something a little bigger than usual, repairing a huge 6-metre tear in one of the court-divider curtains on-site at The Triangle Leisure Centre, Burgess Hill.

Armed with some very strong repair tape, Val and the team got to work, the result is pretty impressive.

No replacement curtain. No cherry picker. Almost no waste. Just half a metre of tape left over and one enormous curtain back in play.

A huge thank you to Sarah G and at The Triangle for trusting the Repair Café with the job, and to The-Stitchery, Lewes, for supplying the excellent repair tape.

Always REPAIR rather than REPLACE! Whether it’s something small enough to bring into the Repair Café… or six metres of torn sports-hall curtain fixed on-site in a gym!

The finished job, neat & hardwearing. Half a metre of tape left, but no other waste.

Making excellent progress on the curtain repair. Nothing goes to landfill & no cherrypickers have to be called in. Good quality of tape from the Stitchery in Lewes.

This is the damaged curtain on the Triangle courts, before Val's repair

At the Triangle with Val, mending a 6m slit in the curtain between courts. Many thanks to Sarah G from Places Leisure for letting the Repair Cafe loose on this job and for sourcing the tape

Heidi is working on this pair of Danish-made Glerups felt slippers, arguably the best slippers in the world. She darned the torn felt and put a patch over the top on both sides, creating a beautiful visible repair & making the slippers more attractive than before!
This is Heidi's homemade sewing kit.
