Attendance is flexible and volunteers can come when it suits them. These sessions are social as well as productive. Volunteers can share what they’ve made, ask questions, bounce ideas off each other, learn, chat and enjoy a cup of tea. If you prefer you can take materials and work from home or do a mix.
At a typical session, volunteers work on simple repairs, more complex repairs like visible mending or machined repairs, sewing new items out of rescued fabric, upcycling or deconstructing garments. You may have crafts like knitting, crochet, applique, patchwork, quilting, embroidery we can use.
