Repair Club: Bras with our friends Tog

  • Tog Hackerspace Unit 1B Motor City Kylemore Road, Dublin 12 Ireland (map)

Join us for a bra related outing at Tog’s Repair Club. Repair Club is an ongoing series where you learn to repair household items, and for this edition we're learning to repair bras. They can fail in a number of ways, from broken wires to failing hooks, and rather than sending them to landfill, let's bring them back to ilfe.

From 7pm on Thursday 5th November, we'll look at how to keep wires in their place, how to replace them, how to swap out the hooks and eyes, and other ways bras can be repaired. Parts will be provided apart from replacement wires (but we'll organise ordering a batch of them to be collected at a later date after making sure we're ordering the right size).

If you've never touched a sewing machine, this is not the class to start, but if you've wielded a zigzag stitch before, then sign right up! Grab that stash of bras you've been meaning to figure out how to fix, and join us!
