♻️ Mend The Trend - 8-Week Course ♻️

👕 At the end of the month, we’re launching our first Mend The Trend course: create your own T-shirt Memory Quilt!

📅 Starting October 28th, 6:30pm-8:30pm.

🪙 The whole course is just £20pp, thanks to funding from Reuse & Repair Fund.

🪡 A memory quilt is perfect for using those baby clothes you struggle to let go of. Or charting your musical taste through old band t-shirts. Or piecing together fabrics of a life well-lived.

💚 Every quilt tells a story. What a joyful way to reuse and repurpose.

Book online at learn-create.org.uk.
UPDATE: only 3 spaces remaining!

Our rescheduled Fix it Yourself workshop is happening this Saturday, 17th October!

This 4-hour session is completely FREE, thanks to funding from Reuse & Repair Fund.

Come and learn techniques to mend and alter clothing. It’s totally beginner-friendly, and we’ll be using hand, machine and no-sew methods.

Feel free to bring a project with you, or just practice the techniques with old clothing we can supply.

Book your FREE space at learn-create.org.uk (link in comments).

And don’t worry if you can’t make it this time - we’ll be running these sessions every other month!
