Kintsugi Your Clothing: Repair, Embellish & Sustainability

✨ Embrace the Art of Visible Mending ✨

Join me for an inspiring and hands-on workshop where I explore the beauty of repairing clothing through beadwork, embellishments, and traditional Japanese stitching techniques like Sashiko. Inspired by the Japanese philosophy of kintsugi—which celebrates the beauty of repair—this workshop encourages you to transform damaged or worn garments into stunning, one-of-a-kind pieces.

🪡 What You’ll Learn:
✔️ Sashiko stitching techniques to strengthen and decorate fabric

✔️ Learn how to repair & reinforce fabric using interlining, fusing & patching where necessary

✔️ How to use beadwork and embellishments to mend and enhance garments

✔️ Creative ways to extend the life of your clothing while making it unique

✔️ The sustainability benefits of repairing and repurposing clothing

🌱 Why It Matters:
Fashion waste is a growing problem, but you can be part of the solution! Repairing your clothes not only reduces textile waste but also fosters a deeper connection with your wardrobe. Instead of discarding damaged garments, learn to celebrate their history by adding artistic repairs that make them even more special.

🎟️ Who Should Attend?
This workshop is perfect for anyone interested in sustainable fashion, embroidery, beading, or creative mending—no prior experience necessary! Whether you're reviving a beloved piece or learning a new craft, you'll leave with practical skills and a renewed appreciation for slow fashion.

Please bring some options of repairs and upcycles with you and we can guide you on at least one piece to complete in class. You will have access to over 25 ranges of beads and threads with the option to buy more specialist crystals and stones on the day for a small charge. All other equipment included.
