Sometimes items or clothing simply need a repair. If you want to improve your fix-it and maker skills, seek out Fix-it Clinics and classes at your local Maker Space.
We volunteer for free Fix-it Clinic at the Truckee Roundhouse Makerspace, sponsored by Keep Truckee Green’s. Folks can bring broken item and volunteers will help you fix it. The last event kept 367 pounds of stuff out of the landfill, including furniture, clothing and electronics. I teach monthly Textile Fix-it Clinic for clothing and outdoor gear.
