Join us for a beginner-friendly workshop on Clothing Repairs with Bethan! If you’ve never hand-sewn or dyed clothing before, fear not – this class is tailored just for you.

In this hands-on session, you’ll discover the art of upcycling and repairing clothing, focusing on practical skills that will breathe new life into your wardrobe. Together, we’ll transform a plain tote bag into a personalized masterpiece by sewing on buttons, mending holes, adding patches, and exploring the vibrant world of tie-dye.

Throughout the workshop, Bethan will guide you through the basics, ensuring you leave with newfound abilities in:

• Sewing on a button
• Repairing clothing holes
• Patching up damaged areas
• Mastering tie-dye techniques

  These essential skills will empower you to revive your old or damaged clothing at home, making sustainability and creativity the focal points of your wardrobe. Don’t miss this opportunity to embark on a journey of DIY fashion with us!

  This workshop is suitable for complete beginners.

  A complimentary lunch will be provided after the session for all attendees, plus snacks and drinks throughout. Please let us know of any dietary requirements when registering.
