Mending & Alterations Workshop

One of the biggest goals in sustainable or ‘slow‘ fashion is to buy less and use things longer. By repairing and adapting clothes, and using recycled materials where possible we can help towards reducing the impact of production, and ultimately disposal of clothing and it’s impact on people and the environment.

Millie Moon are providing an opportunity to get help and advice on altering and extending the life of clothing with professional dressmaker Anna Vickery.

Bring along a selection of un-loved, once-loved, handed down or just not quite right clothes and see what’s possible.

Covers a combination of hand and machine sewing, whichever is most appropriate for the task – you’re welcome to bring your own sewing machine or use the ones at the shop, extra materials/haberdashery if required will be available to buy on the day. Millie Moon sell Gutermann recycled sewing thread and a selection of ribbon made from 100% recycled material.

£20 per person – minimum numbers needed to run.
