Fixit Clinic CXXXVIII (138) Albany Clothing Swap

Really more of a "Mini Fixit Clinic", we're doing outreach to local clothing swaps to recruit sewing coaches so we can offer textile and fabric repair at upcoming Fixit Clinics.


Sarah helped this woman repair the strap on her bag.

She got this boombox and a VCR fixed.
We had a great time just hanging out and catching up.
