Did you know that the biggest environmental impact of our clothing happens when we own it? Whether you’re looking at how to live more sustainably or hoping to rescue a favourite garment in need of some TLC, this brand new ‘Wardrobe SOS’ masterclass covers the essential skills for maintaining your wardrobe! Using off-cut fabrics, you’ll learn how to sew on buttons and fastenings, mend a button hole and how to stitch up a split seam. You’ll also receive an exclusive zine to take away which is full of tips on how to care for your clothing and keep them looking fresh!
Bring your worn out denim (or any other medium-heavy woven fabric) along to this workshop that explores the Japanese art of visible mending. The Japanese art of Boro not only mends, but also embraces imperfections and adds to the stories of our clothing, a heritage craft that ties in so well with todays conversations on slow fashion and sustainability!
