Mission to Mend: Hand Sewing Hems

Life skills and interests

Wellbeing tools

This workshop is part of our upcycling fashion series and is a fantastic opportunity to learn, alongside other beginners, an invisible hand sewing technique.  This particular technique is often used when taking up or repairing dropped hems on garments – a very useful skill, we’re sure you’d agree!  No previous experience is necessary and all fabric and sewing materials are 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.
