What is Mending What Matters?
It's connection.
It's connection with yourself, both the parts of you that feel easy and the ones that feel more difficult.
It's connection with your hands, repairing fabric with hand stitching and darning skills that have been used for generations.
It's connection with other humans, no screens necessary.
We hope you'll join us.

This Earth Day, we’re celebrating the power of education, creativity, and community.

At Tad More Sustainability Institute, our mission is to educate and empower the next generation of sewists through our DOL-certified apprenticeship program and community sewing classes. We believe that teaching these skills is one of the most impactful ways to reduce textile waste and build a more sustainable future.

Through every class, workshop, and community event, we’re not just teaching how to sew—we’re spreading knowledge, creativity, and a deeper appreciation for the garments we wear.

Please enjoy a look at some of the moments we’ve shared here in Rockford—spaces filled with learning, artistry, and connection.

Sustainability starts with skills. And skills start with access.

Happy Earth Day.

The conversation around sustainability can sometimes feel discouraging - like there's always more work to be done.

And there is. But that doesn't make our efforts any less impactful.

Together, we have made a real difference - and we're only getting started!

To some, cancer is just a disease.

To many others, cancer is a daily reality.

This World Cancer Day, we reflect on the warriors in our community who fight cancer every day, as well as those who fight alongside them.

We're proud to have partnered with the this past Winter to bring visibility and comfort to our neighbors who need it most.

What's the easiest way to save 2,000 gallons of water and 70 pounds of carbon emissions in one day?

Thrift your jeans!

But don't take it from us, take it from your new favorite pair.
