In these days of fast fashion, the mending of clothes is becoming something of a forgotten craft.

It's hosted by local cooperative The Pantry, which in turn helps fund South Invercargill urban rejuvenation organisation South Alive.
Courtney Ellison is community development and operations manager at South Alive. She speaks to Mark.
