This hands-on workshop invites participants to explore the art of repurposing and mending textiles using simple hand-sewn techniques. Whether it’s breathing new life into a beloved shirt or repairing a favourite garment, this activity encourages creativity, sustainability, and skill-building.
Participants will learn practical methods to:
- Mend and restore items from their own wardrobe.
- Transform old clothing into something new and functional.
- Reflect on the environmental impact of textile waste and fast fashion.
No prior experience is needed—anyone can learn these accessible techniques and leave with a unique, repurposed piece they’ve created themselves.
Led by a seasoned professional with extensive experience in fashion, textiles, and costume design, including delivering workshops in further education settings, this activity is designed to be low-tech and space-efficient, focusing on handwork rather than machinery.
