Did you know that an estimated 92 million tonnes of textile waste is created each year?
By 2030, we are predicted to send 134 million tonnes of clothing to landfills annually. These shocking figures are both appalling and avoidable. Some quick, cheap and easy sewing skills can be the answer to stop us having to get rid of some of our favourite pieces in our wardrobes. Join this workshop, provided by Chicfashic, and practice the skills which will save and extend the life of your clothes.
Learning outcomes of this workshop:
Discover how to repair minor damages to your clothes with hand stitching techniques.
Learn about the various materials we wear and use everyday.
Discuss the importance of making clothes that last longer.
You will need a thread, a needle and a button.
This event is free and will take place online via Zoom.
