I was recently introduced to this project by the artist Michael Swain called the Free Mending Library. Once a month or so the artist carts his custom built sewing machine (made from an altered ice cream cart) out into his neighborhood and offers the free service of stitching and mending to anyone interested. I love so many aspects of this project. You can see some other collaborative work that he is doing with the Future Farmers here: http://www.futurefarmers.com/
