If, along with your dull knives, ripped seams, broken lamps and cracked wooden chairs, your family has stuffed animals that need mending, please bring them to our Repair Cafe on Saturday, January 24, at the Senior Center, located at 145 Bridge Street, between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
Dorian Taylor, one of our expert seamstresses, will be holding our first “Stuffie Urgent Care Clinic” within our Repair Cafe.
She can sew on torn arms, replace dangling eyes and repair whatever other injuries your children have inflicted on their favorite stuffed Squishmallow, Care Bear, Sesame Street character and other stuffies. For best results, please bring all damaged parts.
Our Repair Cafes now have 16 volunteer fixers, who repair everything from bicycles to food mixers to hedge and pruning shears – all for FREE. Donations to cover Cafe operating costs are always welcome.
Sustainable Suffield’s Repair Cafe is one of 3,798 Repair Cafes worldwide, according to the Repair Cafe Foundation. The first Repair Cafe was held in 2009 in Amsterdam in the Netherlands.
