Clothing Repair Workshop

Where: Neuron Pod at the Blizard Institute, Whitechapel
Did you know that there’s already enough clothing on Earth to dress the next six generations? Instead of discarding your worn-out clothes, why not learn how to give them a new lease on life?
We’ll provide all the tools and expertise you need—all you need to bring are your garments in need of a little love. Whether they’re holey, ripped, too long, or missing buttons, we’ll guide you through repairing them.
Some of the skills you can learn are: sewing up holes, replacing buttons, hemming, darning, and more. We will also be joined by the QMUL Knit and Knatter Society for all your knitting needs.
Each year, a staggering 92 million tonnes of textile waste ends up in landfills. Come to our Clothes Mending Workshop to keep your clothes out of that number.
