Repair & Refashion your Clothes @ The Remakery

Eleanor and Sarah, from Fast Fashion Therapy, are on hand to help you mend or alter your old or damaged clothes.

Please bring along a couple of items of clothing to work on and we can offer advice on how to repair or alter them. If you would like to practice some sewing techniques on spare fabrics first before working on your own clothes, we have plenty of small pieces available for you to use.

We have 3 sewing machines to use, an iron and basic sewing kit and materials. Please bring along a sewing kit if you have one, we can't provide all materials so if there are any extra trims or fabrics you specifically want to use please bring these along too. We are a friendly and inclusive group, we invite everyone to share any ideas they may have with others on how we can mend and refashion clothes to combat textile waste.

The workshop runs from 6.30pm - 8pm at The Remakery, Lilford Road, London, SE5 9HY. The Remakery entrance is down some steps from ground level on the corner of Lilford Road and Paulet Road.

We are so pleased that we have been given a grant from the National Lottery Community Fund to fund these workshops meaning we can keep these workshops free to attend.

If you are able to give a donation with your ticket, suggested donation is £3. Your donation helps us to cover costs not covered by the grant and continue running these workshops for free so we can support everyone to mend their clothes, regardless of their financial income.

About The Remakery

The Remakery was born in 2012 out of a disused car park in South London. Located between Brixton and Camberwell, our not-for-profit maker-space has fostered a community of makers, artists, local residents and enterprises that have been breathing new life and creativity into things destined for landfill.
