Stitched Up has joined with Manchester based sustainable clothing brand Beaumont Organic to bring a series of social mending workshops right in the heart of Manchester City Centre.
Every last Thursday of the month to bring a bit of life back to your worn or unloved garments!
Got a t-shirt you no longer wear or jeans that don’t fit anymore? Don’t chuck them out, get creative and give them a new lease of life.
At this workshop you’ll make a start on your work in progress pile to rework an unloved item of clothing. Dive into our stash of reclaimed textiles, trims and buttons and get inspired by our sample rail.
This is a social meetup for menders and upcyclers - a friendly place to chat and support one another, share skills and ideas and troubleshoot projects. There'll also be an opportunity to look through Beaumont Organic's timeless collections and do some late night shopping.
Tea and coffee available (donations), or BYOB (alcohol in moderation if you'll be using a sewing machine!)
Level: Advanced, Beginner & Intermediate
Instructions
Skills: Hand and machine sewing, embroidery, appliqué, shortening hems.
Level: Beginner..
Some experience of using a sewing machine is an advantage but not necessary. If you prefer, you can just use hand sewing techniques for your project too.
Bring: Bring along a couple of items of clothing to repair.
Depending on your skill level or the difficulty of your repair you may not complete all projects but you will be armed with the knowledge and know how to continue your repairs at home or at future workshops.
If you are looking to replace a zip please bring one on the day, as we cannot guarantee we will have the right one.
All other materials and equipment will be provided.
