🧶 Event Blurb:

As part of this year’s International Youth Day theme “Youth Empowerment for a Sustainable Future”, Stitch & Sew invites youth aged 15–24 to learn sustainable clothing mending techniques. Instead of throwing away damaged clothes, discover how to give your garments a new life using creative methods like embroidery, patching, and visible mending. All materials are provided—just bring along a worn item or two from your wardrobe that’s ready for a refresh!
