Wearable - Sew Social

🧵 Sew Social: Open Sewing, Chat and Creative Repair

Come along to a relaxed open sewing evening hosted by @Wearable.CIC as part of Sustainable Fashion Week 2025.

Whether you’re a beginner or experienced stitcher, this gentle and informal session is a chance to bring something you’re working on, get advice or ideas, or just sew and chat with others who enjoy making and mending.

No structured teaching, but plenty of encouragement and shared knowledge. Bring your own sewing, darning, patching, embroidery or repairs, or just come along to get inspired. We’ll have a small stash of materials and tools available to share.

🧵 North London Hospice Collaboration

Wearable is excited to be collaborating with North London Hospice. They are committed to ensuring that unsold clothes go on to have further use and don’t just end up in landfill or rivers in other parts of the world. The organisation has formed a partnership with Sait Recycling in Ghana and various fashion colleges to tackle this. Our partnership with North London Hospice allows us to give a second life to unsold textiles, such as the fabrics used in our sewing workshops.

Look out for items labelled ‘made with care for North London Hospice’. If you buy these, 100% of the sale price will be given back to the charity.

🧘 Why come?

Because slowing down to stitch is a great way to care for your clothes, your wellbeing, and the planet. There’s something special about making time to sit, sew, and share ideas with others.

🎟️ All welcome, no experience needed. Free, drop-in style session but please register so we have an idea of numbers.
