you’ve got garments sitting in the “too hard” basket—ripped seams, fallen hems, missing buttons—this class is for you! Learn practical, hands-on mending techniques that will help you rescue and revive your favourite clothing.
In this friendly and supportive session, Ash will guide you through simple but effective ways to repair and refresh your wardrobe. Bring along up to three garments needing attention—think repairs, hems, alterations or adjustments.
Learn how to assess what needs fixing
Watch live demonstrations on common mending techniques
Practice hands-on repairs under guidance
Share ideas and tips with others who love to “make do” rather than throw away
This class is perfect for beginners with basic sewing skills and those wanting to build confidence in basic garment mending.
