Kids Special! Up-cycling with Mend Assembly Ages 7-10

Join Mend Assembly for a denim re-fashion and up-cycling workshop.

In this two and a half hour workshop each participant will get hands on and learn the skills to up-cycle a piece of clothing into a completely new item. in this session we'll be up-cycling a tired or worn out denim garment using a mix of machine sewing, sashiko stitching, embroidery, appliqué and patching.

You will need to bring a denim garment that is in need of a new lease of life. Either a pair of jeans, jacket, shirt, shorts, skirt, bag. No sewing experience necessary, although we'll have machines available for those wishing to use them.

Mend assembly are a local clothing practice flying the banner for sustainable fashion. As well as running weekly mending socials, clothes swaps and workshops for all ages they are a working studio offering repairs and small production runs.
