One-to-one and tailored group workshops:

I invite you to slow down and take pleasure in the joy of creating something with your own hands and some simple equipment.

One-to-one session:

Are you ready to breathe new life into your clothing? In this 3-hour personalised one-to-one session, we dedicate time to repair and transform your beloved garments into unique pieces that elevate your sustainable wardrobe!

What to Expect:

  • Start with Tea and Inspiration
     We’ll begin the session with a warm cup of tea, creating a serene atmosphere for our creative journey, and you’ll share the items you’d like to repair or transform. We then gather inspiration and brainstorm ideas for your unique pieces.

  • Learn Transformative Techniques
     Throughout the session, you’ll be introduced to various methods of re-working and repairing garments such as visible mending or alteration to reflect your style and the philosophy of sustainability.

  • Create Your One-of-a-Kind Piece
     We will work with my sewing machines, tools, and equipment, and by the end of the session, you’ll have at least crafted one beautiful, one-of-a-kind item that you can cherish for years to come.

  • Take Home Practical Skills
     Not only will you leave with your unique creation, but you’ll also have gained practical sewing skills and insights on slow stitching. Plus, you’ll receive a mending starter kit to continue your journey at home!

This session is a wonderful opportunity to learn how to make the clothes you love last while enjoying a day of creativity and connection. Let’s embark on this transformative experience together.
