Inspiring Action on Sustainable Fashion

We run a programme of workshops and courses to help you develop and build your sewing and garment construction skills, from beginner level upwards. There’s something for everyone, whatever your age or ability. Arm yourself with the skills you need to get more from your wardrobe – we’ll help you repair, alter and update your clothes. Visit our Repair Cafe or attend workshops on visible mending, natural dyeing and more! Keep textiles out of landfill and in use for longer! Donate your unwanted fabrics, visit our shop to source sustainable sewing supplies, or try swapping as an alternative to shopping at our regular clothes swaps.

We offer a range of sustainable fashion activities for young people age 8+ including workshops, courses and holiday clubs. Book our cute and quirky HQ for a private sewing or upcycling party – perfect for the eco-conscious person in your life! Learn, share, get inspired and join in. We host talks, film screenings and other informative events to raise awareness of issues in the fast fashion industry.

Looking for sewing or sustainable fashion activities for your group?

We travel across Greater Manchester delivering activities based around sewing, clothes repair, upcycling and sustainable fashion. Groups we work with include young people, vulnerable adults, the lgbt+ community and people with specific learning needs.
