Free Date / Frequency Sat, 7 Nov 2026 Time 9:30 am - 12:00 pm Location Other Grab that jacket with the broken zip, jeans with the split knee, or top that’s missing a button and bring it along to the Great Global Mend at Slow Fashion Hub. Add to calendar The Great Global Mend is Australia’s biggest simultaneous repair event: many hundreds of people across the country, all mending something at the very same moment, in an attempt to break our 2025 record (298 menders) for the most people repairing textiles simultaneously. City of Fremantle is proud to be one of the venues taking part. You don’t need any sewing experience, menders will be there to help you fix your item from scratch, whether that’s sewing on a button, patching a hole with a FabPatch, or mending a hem. Bring a basic hand-sewing kit if you have one or just bring yourself; we have everything covered. The Great Global Mend is a national initiative presented by FabPatch and Care to Rewear, dedicated to keeping clothing and textiles out of landfill by making repair easy, social and normal again. Free event, bookings essential. Slow Fashion Hub, FOMO Building (next to IGA), Tidal La Fremantle Bring something that needs mending (and a sewing kit if you have one)!
