An Afternoon of Mending @ Small Changes

Have you ever had your two favourite worlds combine? We have, and here's what happened.

In June 2025, we launched our summer mending series after a short social media hiatus. To our surprise, our internet community were instantly as excited as we were and began sharing our launch far and wide. Our Insta inbox was busier than ever (thank you)!

As we prepared for our first event, we received a notification from one of our favourite businesses, Small Changes. If you haven't come across Small Changes before, they are Dublin's number one zero-waste, bulk store. They offer a wide range of organic vegetables, bulk groceries, zero-waste cleaning supplies, event space, and a delicious cafe. What's not to love?

So when they reached out and asked to collaborate on a mending cafe in their store, we couldn't say no.

On July 26th, we hosted our first collaboration and first (semi)indoor event in Small Changes, Inchicore. This was a small meetup in the beautiful garden space at the back of the store where we mended holes in socks and leggings, adjusted dress straps, and tried some embroidery.

Whilst our fixes were timely, we did stay longer at the end to enjoy some of the delicious cafe snacks, including a pizza (regretably not pictured 😮)

Thank you to everyone who attended and supported this month's mending event. And a very special thank you to Peadar, Maria and the rest of the Small Changes team for all your support and making this event possible.
