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.
