Whether you’re completely new to sewing or looking to deepen your repair skills, this hands-on series will guide you through a range of traditional and modern techniques to restore, revive, and reconnect with your clothes.
Each session invites you to slow down, stitch with intention, and build confidence in caring for your garments:

  • Week 2: Introduction to Darning – Master the basics of woven repairs on holes and worn areas
  • Week 3: Invisible Mending – Experiment with freehand embroidery techniques on denim
  • Weeks 4 & 5: Personal Project Work – Apply your new skills to items from your own wardrobe with individual guidance and support

You’ll leave with practical techniques, a repaired item (or several!) and a new appreciation for the stories stitched into your clothes. All materials provided. Just bring yourself – and any clothing you’d like to mend.

The dates will be 22, 29 September, 6, 13, 20 October from 7-9pm at Making Space. It will cost £175 for 5 weeks
