Drop by (no sign-up required!) our Community Space at Austin Creative Reuse to help us assemble  mending kits for unhoused people in our community. These little mending kits, all contained in a reused Altoid tin, will have everything one needs to give their clothing a longer life - essential when one's ability to buy new clothing or access mending services is limited.

At this drop-by event, you'll help us cut fabric patches, thread buttons onto safety pins, and assemble all the pieces needed for each kit. Come and help for 10 minutes or a whole hour - up to you! This event is suitable for volunteers of all ages - so it's a great opportunity to get the whole family involved!

RSVP here!

Enjoy an afternoon of demos and hands-on activities with artists and makers from the Central Texas area. 

While you're there, get information about the Pflugerville Library’s Summer Reading Program. Stop by the Pfab Lab for a tour, see a 3D printer demo, and visit the children's area to enjoy different crafts.

All ages are welcome to attend. No registration required and this event is free.

ACR will be at the event with two free crafts- Imagination Creation (freestyle crafting project, attendees can create whatever their heart desires!) and Fabric Sample Bags (Our lovely volunteers will sew the heavy-duty fabric samples into simple bags/purses in advance, which attendees can then decorate using ribbon, buttons, lace/trim, etc to create a beautiful and functional masterpiece).
