About this Event
Have you ever wanted to learn to sew? Then come along to our free workshop at the Eco-Hub and leave with a skill for life! The workshop is beginner friendly and will help you get more wear out of your favourite clothes and save your money! This week will be an unstructured session to do your own mending and ask for advice.
Bring along your own item to mend and by the end of the workshop, come away with a repaired garment and a sense of achievement! If you don't have an item, we will have fabric samples on hand that you can use to practice techniques.
All supplies are included in the workshop, no experience is needed, just enthusiasm and willingness to learn! Tea and Coffee will be available to purchase on the day for 50p a cup.
