Description

Join this hands-on clothes workshop, led by Samantha Henry, you can make your own or amend clothes that you already own so they fit better to your body or gender.

You can discover the art of sewing while contributing to a more sustainable future. These sessions give students the chance to create garments such as dresses, jeans, or pyjamas using recycled and repurposed materials or alter your own clothes so they fit better.

This workshop provides step-by-step guidance on sewing techniques, safe machine use, and fabric care, alongside insights into the environmental impact of textile production. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to finish a project from a previous course, you’ll gain practical skills, creative confidence, and a deeper understanding of sustainable fashion.
