Want to make your wardrobe reflect you, while reducing textile waste? We’re proud to announce our Rework it with Pride course, designed specifically to support the LGBTQIA+ community in Greater Manchester with their reworking journey. We especially welcome trans and non binary folks to apply.
Join Stitched Up for a 4 week course teaching a range of alterations and upcycling techniques. From creative visible mending to understanding the basic mechanics of a sewing machine - you’ll go away armed with the knowledge and confidence to keep your clothes for longer, and craft a wardrobe that works for you.
Break free from the restrictions of fast fashion, and the possibilities for personal style become endless!
Level: Advanced, Beginner & Intermediate
Instructions
Skills: Alterations, upcycling, visible mending
Level: Beginner/Intermediate. This workshop is suitable for all skill levels and you will learn at your own pace.
Bring: Clothing or textile accessories you want to make changes to. If you have a vision in mind that requires specific materials (such as a specific zip or extra fabric) it would be worth bringing that, too. We will have equipment to use and an assortment of reclaimed materials.
Venue Details:
