Rework Your Wardrobe – Sustainable Clothing Creation

Have you got a wardrobe full of old clothes, beautiful textiles and wonderful trims? Perhaps you have a great eye for detail and collect ill-fitting garments that you never quite find the time to alter? Or maybe your body shape has changed and all of your favourite pieces no longer fit? Bring along your scissors, a quick unpick and a case full of goodies and come and play dress-ups with a professional designer and personal stylist. We will rework and reinvigorate your wardrobe – creating custom-designed, individual pieces, all while reducing your fashion footprint. No previous sewing skills necessary – machines provided. Come along to 2, 3 or all 4 sessions.
