A social movement, sewing and repairing clothes is more than a service. It's  community, stories, and relationships.

We worked hard this afternoon at Studio + Machine!! Awsome job Ketty and Hyesun! They saved a fortune by making tote-bags out of marimekko production scraps that they bought for 5€ at the Outlet store! We also realized logical thinking is needed in Drafting and sewing! We are now physically and mentally tired! Good night...
