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!

Join Make At Rosie Community Makerspace members to customize your own pronoun or rainbow pin and show your pride all year round.

Using acrylic paint markers, you’ll get to paint, finish, and personalize a laser-cut pin made from recycled wood. Supplies will be provided, so you can have fun crafting and leave wearing your pin with pride.

This is a FREE drop-in event, so you can stop by anytime between 12-3pm to participate.

Learn more about the Make at Rosie Community Makerspace on their website.
