Session

Get creative with your clothes in this hands-on patch-making workshop from the team at Helsinki’s Central Library Oodi. Using recycled materials, you’ll learn how to mend and customize fabric items in fun, accessible ways—no special skills needed!

Discover how this small act of creativity can support sustainable lifestyles and self-expression. Along the way, you’ll also explore how Oodi’s makerspace empowers communities through accessible tools like laser cutters and UV-printers.

Leave with a patch (or two!), new skills, and inspiration for bringing creative sustainability into your own library.
