Jeans and denim are a fashion favourite for so many of us. And whatever the style, from boot cut to
flared jeans, denim shirts and jackets, we all have our favourite piece of well loved denim. In this mending denim workshop, we invite you to bring along a well loved denim item, in need of
repair, if you don’t have one, denim fabric will be provided.
