Fashion Upcycling & Clothes Mending Course - Workshops 9 & 10

Course attendees were talked through different techniques to impart textural elements where desired. This led to the inclusion of a few final design elements.

Everyone was inducted in machine sewing thanks to the lovely making-volunteers. Participants were provided with plenty of one-to-one time during their forays into machine stitching. Confidence levels markedly rose as attendees found their feet and realised that they could comfortably sew when provided with good support and the right tools for the job!

As participants neared the end of their upcycling journeys, finishing touches were starting to be added. We did none-the-less decide to offer another session to allow all who needed it a bit of extra time with hands on support and machine access. But those with fully finished outcomes were able to take them away and add them into their wardrobe!
