Sign up for a workshop dedicated to relaxing stitching, guided mending and repair.

Pick up a needle and practice stitches that can be used practically on the contents of your wardrobe. Play with colour and texture, discover visible mending and creative embellishments to bring new life into tired garments and long forgotten items at the back of your wardrobe. If you have something with holes, bring it along and let's see what we can do, otherwise we will have materials for you to play with. Learn the skills and make Grandma super proud.
