Mend in Public Sewcial

With over 17 years experience in garment making and alterations Claire has key knowledge in the field.  Gradutating in 2007 from a menswear BA at Brighton University, clothing and textiles have been a big part of Claire's life.  Sustainable practices have always been a part of Claire's business values which sent her down a path of servicing and educating starting with garment alterations.  Since 2019 teaching others how to alter garments was the launching point of the repertoire of classes you can attend today.  Every session brings learning of how to best adapt to meet the needs of anyone from beginners to those coming back into sewing.  Each class if very adaptive for different learning styles and is intended to inspire people to continue on their creative path.  As someone who likes human interaction Claire treats every interaction with warmth and curiosity.  Sewing brings such happiness and a sense of joy to all who try it.  To pass on skills that people can use for life is the best feeling, with a continued afford to adapt classes to meet the needs of anyone who wishes to learn.

Do you have a phrase you would like to embroider on a tee-shirt or sweater?

Join Eimear Greaney (UpSew) for a hands-on embroidery session, where you’ll learn the basics of chain stitch on a tee-shirt or sweater—perfect for easy removal if needed. It’s a fun and creative way to personalise or add flair to your clothes.

All materials will be provided, including felt test pieces for those who prefer not to stitch directly onto their own clothing right away.

This event is free of charge; however, advance booking is essential due to limited availability.

Saturday 26 April 12:00-17:00, alongside 'Mend in Public Day', it is also 'Kings Day' in the Netherlands. Our national colour is orange, so we will put orange thread on our sewing machines and provide orange darning and embroidery thread. So the visible mending on your clothes or accessoires will be in orange.

Because of Fashion Revolution Week, we have four days of Slow Fashion activities from 23 -26 April. At the same time, it's a great start to our community at our new location in Enschede!
