Join us for this wonderful workshop, which is part of our upcycling fashion series, where you will learn three different hand sewing stitches for creative embroidery. During this session you will be able to enjoy creatively patching holes in sample fabrics to inspire your own visible mends with any damaged clothing at home. This workshop will give you the opportunity to get your creative juices flowing in a friendly and relaxed environment, alongside other beginners. All fabric and sewing materials provided.
Learners who take part in this workshop will be able to attend the Mission to Mend Community Roadshow with friends and family to showcase their work, should they wish. This is being held at the Recovery & Wellbeing College in Mirfield on Friday 16 June from 12.30 – 4.30pm.
Mission to Mend is a Heritage Lottery Funded WOVEN in Kirklees project, celebrating the importance of creative hand sewing for textile repair and the difference it can make in local communities.
