This is an underreported aspect of the repair cafe experience ❤️
"Marissa brought in a travel backpack that needed a seamstress. She is trying to learn to sew herself, and sitting at the cafe felt like a one-on-one lesson."

@susankayequinn@wandering.shop yessss! That's been one of the most satisfying parts of our monthly repair cafes, the people who come in and are interested and willing to learn. I recently taught an elderly lady how to solder for the first time (so that she could repair her own lamp) and she was so excited! And walked away with a repaired lamp AND a new skill - what a win-win!
