The Great Global Mend at The Grove

Pin the date – the Great Global Mend is back for 2026! Organised by Care to Rewear and FabPatch, this nationwide event will bring people together to extend the life of their clothing and textiles by mending them at the exact same time – 11am on Saturday 7th November.
Get involved to bring your much-loved garment or textile item back into rotation and help reduce Australia’s textile waste. No sewing experience needed – whether it’s a missing button, loose hem, or small tear, we’ll provide guidance, some sewing supplies, and plenty of encouragement.
Morning tea will be provided.
Let’s show how small stitches can make a big difference. Places are limited due to venue capacity, so grab your free ticket now.
This event is part of WMRC’s 2026 Textile Trail, taking place this November.
