Children's Sewing At Make
Looking for an exciting and educational way to keep your kids engaged this half-term?
Join us for a hands-on Sustainable Sewing Workshop where young minds will learn to upcycle discarded boilersuits into stunning, personalized creations like jackets, travel bags, trousers, dresses, and more!
This two-day course, led by professional upcycling designers Abigail Schaefer from Mukta_un_done in collaboration with Lizzy Evans from Make Fabric Boutique aims to foster creativity, environmental consciousness, and hands-on skills.
Sustainable and slow fashion has become one of the most significant movements in the quest for a greener and more earth-friendly manufacturing industry.
Upcycling, in particular, stands out as an effective way to create new garments using surplus textiles that have already undergone the manufacturing process. By reusing these materials, designers can produce new looks with minimal environmental impact.
If you have a sewing machine it is great to bring it with you a really get to know how to use it properly, or you can use one of ours.
