Repair City textile mending, Mosaiikki library, Vantaa
At the Mosaiikki library in Vantaa's Kivistö district, the volunteer-run Repair City, or Korjauskaupunki, gives people a place to mend things together. Participants learn to repair and patch clothes, soft toys and other textiles. The volunteers do not do the work for you but gladly help and advise. The library's makerspace has two overlockers, a sewing machine and an industrial sewing machine, plus an ironing point, sewing threads, darning needles, pins and scissors, so all you need is to bring your own item that needs repairing. The event is open to everyone and free of charge. It is organised by volunteers, while the library provides the equipment and the space. It is held on a Saturday from 12:00 to 15:00, and the listing is in Finnish. Dropping in to fix a favourite jumper is an easy way to meet neighbours and learn a useful skill. «Korjauskaupunki Kivistö» Starts 12:00, ends about 15:00.
