Mending circle and sewing workshop this Thursday! All ages
www.facebook.com...
Auckland Library of Tools in collaboration with Repair Cafe Aotearoa are excited to bring you the third in a series of repair and maintenance workshops every first Thursday of the month at Hackland Makerspace, just behind ALoT!
Thursday August 1 will be a clothes mending circle and workshop, no skills necessary. Come join in the fun of repairing your own clothing with a group of others doing the same. Swap knowledge, tips and tricks, stories, and thread colors with your neighbour while extending the life of your beloved garments, soft toys, bags, and more. Sewing and mending experts will be on hand to help with techniques and give advice. Bring appropriate tools if you have them, or use the tools and sewing machines available in house. There will be nibbles and tea on hand, and contributions of food and beverage are very welcome. The vibe is relaxed, and social! All ages, with a play area for little ones.
Getting here:
Bus stops on Ponsonby Rd (InnerLink, 20, 105, 106, 866), Great North Rd (11T/W, 18, 20, 195), and Karangahape Rd (WX1)
We are also near the northwestern cycleway.
Limited free parking is available next door or on side streets. There is no parking in front of ALoT/Hackland..
Thank you for reducing landfill waste by considering ways to keep your household items going longer!
If you would like to help out at any of our workshops or repair cafes, please don’t hesitate to get in touch! Send us a message here or email our coordinator at brandy.repairandshare@gmail.com.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

Hey Pakeha - are you gonna let Seymour talk for you
Govt is elected to
1) provide goods and services that one person can not on their own. Eg Hospitals / Police. Govt is not to change our Agreement / History Treaty of Waitangi because some minor party of a coalition (wannabe control freak) says so.
2) Wrong Chris needs to do (at the first bill reading, not second) what the people want, not what Seymour wants!!!!!!!!!! Upsetting the apple cart Seymour v 52,000. Loser Seymour!!!!!!!!
