Visible Mend & Embellish Workshop £45

Join us for a 3 hour workshop as we create connection and thoughtfulness in keeping clothes!

 

We will be exploring visible mending techniques such as Sashiko stitching, embroidery, applique and darning as a creative way to embrace and celebrate wear and tear. Bring your worn out, and in need of some love, clothing and we’ll show you our take on sashiko stitching and guide you to some astonishing embroidery and darning techniques.

 

We believe there’s a wealth of power in a tiny needle and thread – loved clothes that last are part of the change we need to protect our planet and respect the people who craft our clothes.

 

So jump on board and show up for a glow up!
