DamonHD<p>Well, I've done some more tacky tacking, and like repeatedly patching some shonky code, it may do. It certainly looks overtly 'mended' which may be good for festival boogieing shorts, but they'd better not be my only pair! <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/repair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>repair</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/upcycle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>upcycle</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mend" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mend</span></a></p>

'In the summer, we'll have a lot of fans, we get toasters, we get clocks, we get vacuum cleaners.'</p><p>"There are more than 3,000 similar Repair Cafés around the world, with a mission to reduce waste, promote community, and preserve traditional repair skills.</p><p>"'Patrons come in and they work together to repair their item. It prevents us from throwing things away that fills up our landfills so that we can continue to use them, and they go on to live a happy life,' said Opila.</p><p>"Known as a volunteer <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RepairCoach" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RepairCoach</span></a>, John Martin is a retired maintenance mechanic working in the general repair section of the café.</p><p>"'People are not aware that they can fix things, they figure, the philosophy in this country is buy, buy, buy, if it's not working get rid of it,' explained Martin.</p><p>"But with a little help from a handy neighbor or a retired and skilled volunteer almost anything can be fixed.</p><p>"'What we're doing here is trying to encourage people to fix stuff themselves and give them the skills and knowledge to be able to not only do it themselves and maybe pass it on to somebody,' said Martin.</p><p>"'I have this Smeg toaster, and I dropped it,' explained customer Coco Colin. 'It's such a nice piece I don't just want to throw it away.'</p><p>"Beyond general repair, they also have <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sewing</span></a> coaches to help <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/mend" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mend</span></a> or <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/hem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>hem</span></a> clothing.</p><p>"'On Saturdays, which is our busier day we also have <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/JewelryRepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>JewelryRepair</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KnifeSharpening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KnifeSharpening</span></a>, plant advice, paper conservation, musical instrument advice.
