We love finding new, locally crafted sustainable frocks, but even the highest quality and most well-cared for clothing item is vulnerable to lost buttons and fabric snags. Rather than banish battered outfits to the back of your wardrobe, learn to give them clothing first aid at this mending workshop.
At Green Fix studio, a crafty pop-up store and workspace in Liverpool dedicated to sustainability and pre-loved retail, you’ll learn how to properly sew on buttons, mend holes in your favourite smocks and even hem those unruly flares. Their Repair What You Wear Workshop will also instruct you in the basics of using a sewing machine. The classes are held in the middle of the day, so you can do something constructive in your lunch break.
Everyone better be prepared to receive homemade pajamas and pillow cases next Christmas.
