Embroidery and Appliqué Upcycling Workshop with Lowie
Event Information
Description
Join the team at Lowie for an evening of crafting. We will teach you basic embroidery and applique techniques and give examples of how to transform a piece from your wardrobe. We will bring the tools and teach you the tricks of the trade, all you need to bring is a garment to upcycle.
At Lowie we encourage a make do and mend attitude towards clothing. At this workshop, we will help you upcycle an unwanted garment by adding fabric, ribbons, buttons, pompoms and embroidery from our treasure trove of trims from past collections.
Upcycling is a great way to give a new lease of life to an unloved piece, is kind to the environment and also to your wallet! If a garments’ life is extended by 9 months we can reduce our carbon, water and waste footprints by 20-30%. With this in mind we challenge you to extend the life of your clothing by 9 more months.
Lowie provides a lifelong repair service for all Lowie garments. We would love you to join us and give a piece of your clothing a new lease of life!
All profits go to NGWS the National Garment Workers Federation, the trade union federation of garment workers in Bangladesh.
