Fast Fashion Therapy runs regular drop-in workshops online, in Bethnal Green and Brixton inviting you to bring along your worn-out clothes and providing the advice and space needed to give you the skills to fix them.
A sewing workshop encouraging repair, up-cycling and remodelling of used clothes, looking to break our habit to always buy new. Fix holes in jeans, darn jumpers, shorten sleeves or create a new outfit from something already in the wardrobe.
All of the mending techniques and tips that we share mean nothing without the people who come to our workshops or connect with us online. Getting together as a group and seeing how many people really are engaged with sustainability is inspiring. It seems like we are all keen to find practical solutions to the problems surrounding us and these collective community experiences are more important than ever!
We host two in person workshops a month, find us at The Create Place in Bethnal Green and The Remakery in Brixton. If you are not based in London then please join our free monthly virtual mend-a-long session.
16th March, 11:30 – 13:00
Eleanor and Sarah are on hand to help you repair and upcycle your old or damaged clothes. Please book a free ticket to confirm your attendance, as we may not have space for you otherwise. If you bring along your own clothes to work on, we can offer advice and ideas on how you can repair or alter them. If you would just like to have a go at some simple techniques, we have spare fabrics so you can practice on those first. The Create Place is set up with sewing machines and basic sewing equipment to get you started. We’re not able to provide all materials so if there are any extra trims or fabrics you specifically want to use please bring these along too. We are a friendly and inclusive group, we invite everyone to share any ideas they may have with others on how we can mend and refashion clothes to combat textile waste.
