SWEATSHOP Sew Your Own Tracksuit

SWEATSHOP; Sew Your Own Sweatshirt

Come join us at The Remakery Brixton for a fun and creative event where you can learn how to sew and make your own sweatshirts.

Suitable for Adults and Young People

Whether you're competent on a sewing machine, or never used one before- our expert instructor, Alice Holloway will guide you through the process so you can build your skills step by step.

Sweatshop is a workshop monthly drop in sewing club. You can come to just one session, or come everytime and keep building your skills

Participants who are new to sewing usually complete the sweatshirt in one two 2 hour sessions

We will dedicate some time in each session to the basics of using a sewing machine, if you're already able to do this you can get straight on with cutting out.

We also have an industrial overlocker for experienced sewers to try using instead of a domestic machine

BRING YOUR OWN FABRIC;

Sweatshirts can be made out of almost anything- be creative! We often use reclaimed blankets, towels, deadstock woolen fabrics or tradditional sweatshirting fabric.

We recommend local fabric shop Simply Fabrics for deadstock (sometimes from designer brands)
