The Mend & Make-Over Studio Session

Visible Mending: Turning tears into features with sashiko-style stitching or patches.

Invisible Repairs: Fixing split seams, darning knitwear, or replacing zips.

Alterations: Taking up hems, shortening sleeves, or adjusting fits.

The "Make-Over": Brainstorming how to turn old garments into something entirely new (e.g., turning trousers into a skirt or a dress into a top).

The "Make-Over" & Beyond: Don’t limit yourself to just clothes! We can help you brainstorm and execute ways to turn sentimental or high-quality textiles into entirely new functional items. If it’s made of fabric, we can help you reinvent it.

Memory Projects: Turn a collection of outgrown baby clothes or a loved one's shirts into a memory cushion or start a keepsake quilt.

Home Styling: Transform vintage curtains into tote bags, or turn a damaged tablecloth into a set of reusable napkins.

Accessories: Give a worn-out wool jumper a new life as a cosmetic bag, a hot water bottle cover, or even a pair of mittens.

The Ultimate Flip: Turn those jeans that are "beyond repair" into a sturdy denim tool apron or a cross-body bag.

The garment(s) or textiles you want to work on.

Any specific "matching" notions (like a specific color thread or a button you love).

An open, creative mind!
