Sew Wild: Repair and Renew Embroidery Workshop

Join Saf for a chilled, creative and eco-friendly workshop where we focus on repairing old and loved fabric items. Saf will show you some of the basics of embroidery and how it can be used to make pretty nature-inspired patches to give life to old clothes while also adding some brand new style!

This workshop is suitable for all skill levels, from complete beginners to experienced crafters.

Event leads: Safia Badawi

Event length: 1 session, Friday 27 February, 1pm - 3 pm (approx)

Meet at: NHSN Council Room, Level 2, Great North Museum: Hancock

Please bring along any fabric items you’d like to give a new life - holey shirts, beloved old teddies, or even a pair of dungarees that could use a few whimsical mushroom patches!
