Looking to start a new hobby or retirement project? Sewing Peace sends used sewing machines to developing countries, but we need your help to make sure they are working.

We’re hosting a sewing machine repair training session for beginners looking to learn and volunteer with our repair efforts.

On Wednesday July 22nd from 10am-2pm. We will be teaching interested volunteers the basics of sewing machine repair and maintenance. We receive plenty of sewing machines that need some basic TLC to get them back into working order and supporting our neighbors around the world.

We will provide tools and machines and teach basic tricks and tips to clean and repair machines with in-person instructors to help along the way. Join our team of volunteers that are putting repair skills to good use in the developing world.

We hope to continue to host training sessions in the future so stay tuned for more events! Please contact alan@p4p.org to sign up or for more information.

Prefer to teach yourself or already have knowledge? We also offer independent volunteer opportunities to people who would like to repair machines on their own time. Many of our current volunteers work from their home studios with various levels of repair knowledge. Work on as many or as few machines as you’d like and develop your skills with our wide variety of machines. We encourage you to take your time and have fun!
