Since launching TRAID have helped save 40 items of clothing from being wasted and supported 27 people to learn the skills to continue to fix their clothes outside of the Repair Cafe space. The most common reason for coming to the repair cafe was to learn new skills, save money and to prolong the life of their clothes. The most common mends are holes that need patching or darning, followed by seams that have come undone or split closely followed by alterations to resize an item of clothing.

I saw the information about Repair Cafe in the AARP news letter. Are there any people in this area that have expressed an interest in starting a Repair Cafe?
