Description
Bring along anything that needs mending or just drop by for a chat.
Whether you can sew or have never tried it before, come and see us and find out how. With a little love and attention, you can make your clothes last longer and add value and interest.
There will also be scraps for you to practice on if you don't have anything to bring along and fix.
Relax and enjoy the shared social experience of mending within a group with our expert Fashion Tech Team who can answer all your questions!
