The next 'Repair Café' at SOS Hardware in Bitterne Park Triangle takes place on Saturday, September 7 and will be a clothes swap and 'make do and mend afternoon.

The event takes place in the back room of the Triangle DIY shop, where a community library/book exchange is also currently being set up. Over 30 people attended the inaugural café session, which saw the outside area being cleared in preparation for eventually creating a community garden.

If you have any sewing skills or equipment (i.e. a sewing machine!) to offer for the next session, organisers would love to hear from you: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
