Re Do Your Denim with Stitched Up

23rd January 12:00 to 14:00
Don’t chuck your holey jeans - mend them better! Drop-in for 2 minutes, 2 hours or any time in between. Beginner friendly. All equipment and material will be provided but feel free to bring your own denim!

Join Stitched Up for a drop-in workshop using patching and embroidery techniques and taking inspiration from Japanese Sashiko stitching, we’ll help you to create visible mends that are unique and fabulous.

This is a hand stitch workshop. You will learn a variety of different embroidery stitches and weaving techniques to embellish a mesh material base and securely sew up the pocket pouch.

Alongside our workshop we will be discussing ideas for reducing textile and clothing waste through community-level reuse, upcycling solutions or campaign groups. With information about our opportunities at Stitched Up and how to get involved.
