Sew Empowering - learn how to mend and upcycle your clothes and textiles

Sew Empowering - learn how to mend and upcycle your clothes and textiles

During this workshop you’ll get hands-on with a range of techniques to extend the lifespans of our everyday garments. Modern mending isn’t just about sewing buttons on and fixing holes; it’s a fun activity where we often choose to highlight the repair instead of hiding it one where you can experiment, and turn an off-the-peg number into a one-off creation.

Come along - choose something from our rail to work on (and take home afterwards if you want), or you can bring an item of your own that needs mending.

This workshop is suitable for both beginner and experienced sewers.

Presented in partnership with The Regarm Project who are generously providing all the garments.

We’ll cover:

- When is it worth mending?

- Repair options

- Assessing damage and planning your repair

- Choosing your materials
