Who We Are
We are a group of creative, passionate people who believe there are low-waste or waste free solutions for almost every aspect of daily life. We work to build a more resilient community through education, modeling and advocating for low waste actions and policies.
What We Do
Mend It Cafe a free-to-the-public repair cafe where skilled volunteer menders fix clothing and other textiles for community members. This is one way we model a circular economic system while reducing textile waste. Mend-It Cafe takes place monthly from March-October at various locations in the Spokane region. You can request a Cafe to come to your business, community center, or event.
ReCraft LAB: We turn trash into durable goods. Whether it's fabric or non-traditional sewing materials like banners and promotional scrim, we keep it out of the waste stream and turn it into something useful.
Sustainable Sewing Lab: Public classes in sewing, mending and making. We are empowering people with a useful skill that supports reuse and repair over replacement thereby keeping textile waste out of landfills and incineration. Classes are for those 16 and up.
Legislative Action: We organize to support legislation that reduces waste in materials from single-use plastics to e-waste.
