Reduce the Frightening Amount of Halloween Waste at this special Mend-It where in addition to fixing clothes &\; household textiles\, we'll help your repair or repurpose Halloween costume s.
\nDid you know 35 million costumes are thrown away each year in t he U.S.\, with 83% of those made from petroleum derived synthetics (plasti cs)\, shipped from overseas and worn just once.
\nNow that&rsquo\;s a horror story.
\nSo go zero this Halloween. Shop your closet\, shop
your friends closet\, host a costume/clothing swap\, shop thrift stores a
nd creative reuse centers.
And if your busting out an old costume and
you&rsquo\;ve busted out the seams\, or if you need help making your new
zero waste costume fit\, we&rsquo\;re here for you.
Please note: we m
ay not be able to fix all costumes due to the type of materials used - we'
ll do our best though!
