The Great Global Mend 2026
Got a jacket with a broken zip, jeans with a split knee, or a shirt missing a button? Bring it along and give it a new lease on life at The Great Global Mend.
What is The Great Global Mend?
The Great Global Mend encourages people to come together and repair textiles, whether that's hand sewing, darning, using FabPatch, or machine mending. At 11:00am, all participating locations across Australia conduct a headcount of people actively repairing, contributing to an (unofficial) world record attempt for the most people mending simultaneously.
In October 2025, 15 councils from across Perth came together, with 298 participants mending 360 garments, diverting 416 items from landfill and avoiding approximately 2.5 tonnes of CO₂e emissions. The City of Stirling was proud to be part of this effort and we're excited to build on that momentum this year.
No sewing experience is required.
