“Since going to Fix Club I’ve found it easier to pick up a needle and thread. And I’ve been mending more readily on the go; a tent hole here, a teddy’s bottom there, and various holey children’s clothes… it feels great not to be giving clothes to rag unnecessarily.”
– Joanna
What is Fix Club? And who’s it for?
Fix Club is a regular get together for pro and beginner needle-crafters alike, held in South Bristol. We come together to mend our clothes and household textiles.
Hole-ridden jeans, ripped shirts and sheets, wobbly buttons, jumpers that have seen better days? They’re all welcome.
You can pick up hints and tips from the more advanced sewists among us, or help those less experienced than you to fix their stuff.
The aim is to bring people together to reduce textile waste while extending the life of our clothes and having a lovely time.
Zero confidence in your sewing abilities?
Beginners are very welcome. We hope that Fix Club will give you the confidence to have a go, make mistakes and try again. Questions and requests for help are encouraged.
Does a teacher lead Fix Club?
Fix Club is an informal learning space with communal problem-solving at its heart. You and your fellow fixers are there to help one another. There’s no official tuition from one designated teacher.
Do you provide equipment and materials?
If you have your own sewing basket, please bring it along. You’re also welcome to borrow our bits and pieces. We provide scissors, threads, pins and needles, fabric scraps, darning mushrooms, embroidery hoops and mini weaving looms to help you with your mends.
