A sock awaiting repair
An ordinary small repair makes the afternoon’s purpose tangible. Some things are here because somebody still wants to use them.
Mira’s atelier · Orchard Court
A little room
for making.
You’re new to the courtyard, and Mira is glad of company. She has gathered the repairs and sewing things for an afternoon together. There’s a cup waiting for you.

Help Mira make room for a mending afternoon.
A mending afternoon
A visit with Mira.
Mira is generous with her time and easily carried away by a new project. Her first invitation is a way to get to know you. While you help her find room for the sewing things, she offers tea, conversation and a sympathetic eye for a troublesome stitch.
The repairs, tools and tea things have been gathered for a particular afternoon. Find useful homes for them, keep a tool close to its project, or give a keepsake a little space on a shelf. A work surface can be ready without being empty.
One small favour leads to another familiar face. Mira knows Leon next door, and the courtyard supper begins to take shape through introductions. You’re invited even if some of her sewing things stay out.
Belongings with a little meaning
The things
that make a room.
A jar of buttons
A collection of useful possibilities. The sewing things need places where Mira can find them again.
The repair pouch
A familiar practical belonging that keeps small repair tools together. It belongs somewhere useful when the afternoon’s work begins.
A welcome, in your own time
A welcome does not depend on a perfectly tidy workshop.
Move things, try another place and Undo when you change your mind. A visit can end before the room is fully tidy.
