Description
Join us for a relaxed session with the Fashion Tech team from UWE Bristol. Bring along some clothes or items that need mending and any questions or just come by for a chat.
Enjoy the shared social experience of mending within a group. Bring along a treasured item of clothing and learn visible mending techniques.
There will also be scraps for you to practice on if you don't have anything to bring along and fix.
Find out how with a little love and attention you can make your clothes last longer and add value and interest.
