PopUpPatchChallenge

We are a collective of amateur makers and menders committed to promoting repair and reuse of clothing. Currently popping up @uochester, soon around Chester

[PopUpPatchChallenge @patch_pop]

It was fab to be back with our patch packs yesterday at @uochester. We taught some basic sewing skills and helped with some fancy customisation. Was particularly nice to do this in front of @AmyTwiggerH's wonderful #fashionfictions World Tour exhibition.

Patch fans might be keen to join this - it's free and online!

[PopUpPatchChallenge @patch_pop]

Ooh, definitely of interest to us, too! Knowing materials through #craft is critical for more sustainable consumption. We'll be there on 16 May!

[Being Human Festival @BeingHumanFest]

Celebrate the value of remaking, repurposing, and repairing clothing at @CASCGallery tomorrow and explore ways of breaking through our unsustainable relationships with garments in the 21st century. 11am-3pm. Book 👇 @AttinghamParkNT @patch_pop @BenFulford1

[PopUpPatchChallenge @patch_pop]

Yeah we are!! We're ramping up our plans for 2023 so it's great to be getting back into the mending groove with this event with @UoCVolunteering and @GreenChester

[PopUpPatchChallenge @patch_pop]

We're so looking fwd to being back! Bring us your mends and we'll show you how to bring loved garments back to life. #repair #mending #patching #darning

[PopUpPatchChallenge @patch_pop]

PUPC is most excited to see sashiko mending on @sewingbee tonight!

[PopUpPatchChallenge @patch_pop]

Lots more mends from today - buttons reattached, seams re-sewn and hems hitched! Thanks for having us @UoCVolunteering 😁

[PopUpPatchChallenge @patch_pop]

Excellent toe-darning in progress. This is an awkward mend, as we haven't had access to a small darning mushroom - a glue stick is doing the job(ish)!

[PopUpPatchChallenge @patch_pop]

It's great to be back with our first on-campus Pop-Up Patch Challenge of the year! Sock-darning, hem-mending, denim-patching... It's all going on! Bring us your repairs!

[PopUpPatchChallenge @patch_pop]

We're teaming up with @UoCVolunteering and Peer Mentoring for our pop-up event next week. Can't wait to get mending 🪡 #mendmarch

[PopUpPatchChallenge @patch_pop]

Darn done! 😁

[PopUpPatchChallenge @patch_pop]

Warming up for our first in-person #popuppatchchallenge since the start of the pandemic with a little light sock darning. If you're at Exton Park @uochester on 17 March, pop over to Grosvenor and bring your loose buttons, dropped hems or other garment gripes - we can help!

[PopUpPatchChallenge @patch_pop]

Anyone who patches, darns or otherwise fixes with us will be able to take home a mini repair kit, complete with one of our new PUPC labels! 😁

[PopUpPatchChallenge @patch_pop]

Tomorrow (Tues 2 March) we are BACK!! Our first Patch Challenge of 2021! We're happy to be part of @GreenChester's month long Go Green festival. Our workshop is open to all - see https://t.co/orRMvXLg5Z to join us! (Bring your mending, darning, dropped hems and busted zips!)

[PopUpPatchChallenge @patch_pop]

We so enjoyed sharing ideas for repairs and repurposings at today's @EcoCommunities_ 'Breaking Up with Fast Fashion' event. Was great to team up with Molly and Stan - loads of inspiration for new things to try - although Stan's parrot waistcoat will take some beating!
