About this Event
TEXTILE REMIX
Bring an old pair of jeans (or any clothing item!) that needs mending and learn basic hand sewing, embroidery, and visible mending techniques inspired by traditional Japanese Sashiko and Boro stitching. All supplies, including beads, bows, thread, scrap fabric selection, and more will be provided for you to play and get creative with!
Light allergen-friendly snacks and refreshments will also be provided.
All levels welcome, no sewing experience required.
This creative and educational workshop is organized by Hailey, founder of Wyatt House Co, and Francine, Founder of NSHINGE Design. Both are Ottawa-based zero waste fashion designers passionate about up-cycling. We beleive in circular practices, in loving and repairing your clothes, reducing waste and overconsumption, and in rebuilding our relationship with fashion and the textile arts.
Grab a friend and join us to repair, repurpose, and remix an old pair of jeans!
Room number 4020 in the Nicol Building. Paid parking available on site.
