Our fantastic staff member Cher has some awesome skills when it comes to extending life of clothing!
She will take you through you a selection of some amazing visible mending techniques, i.e.: sashiko, needle felting, slow stitching, and embroidery.
Come and join our 2-hour workshop and enjoy this mindful activity that helps you to be in the moment, have fun and stops your clothing from ending up in the landfill!
What to bring: Hand sewing needles, suggested threads: cotton, mending wool, sashiko/embroidery threads, clothes to mend, assorted scraps of fabric.
We will provide extra threads and fabrics if you don't have any in your craft stash.
Age restriction: 14+
