Hate it when jeans wear out in just one area, while the rest of the denim is going strong? This workshop will teach you how to save your favourite jeans, get months or years more wear from them and save the cost of buying new ones! Denim is a really intensive fabric to produce; by repairing and continuing to wear jeans for longer, you are taking a great step towards a more sustainable wardrobe! Once you learn the technique, you’ll be able to keep all your jeans in great shape from now on.

This workshop is open to all, though denim can be a tricky fabric to sew with for complete beginners. There will be a chance to explore both hand sewing and machine sewing techniques.

Bring a pair of jeans you would like to fix. All other materials and equipment will be provided.

Thanks to funding from DAERA’s carrier bag levy, we are able to offer these sessions at a low charge. If you are able, we would welcome any donations towards BTL so we can reach more people with these fantastic sustainable sewing skills.
