Ready to tackle that pile of clothes that aren't quite right or need a repair? Whether you want to fix a garment, alter a skirt, or transform a dress into a top or cover up a stain, Jen will teach you the skills to bring new life to your wardrobe.

Each course will depend on what you and others in the group bring to upcycle! This class is a friendly, relaxed environment in which you'll learn how to repair or upcycle not only your own garments but pick up hints and tricks from what others are working on too.

“I really enjoyed my Upcycling course with Jen. Fun atmosphere and lovely fellow students too. I definitely progressed in my sewing as a result and am planning on doing the 6 week course later in the year. Kind and supportive tutor in a lighthearted environment.”

“Jen was patient and knowledgeable which is great considering I'm a complete beginner. I loved that you could work on any project you wanted and everything you could possibly need was provided. I took in a top and learned to darn over moth holes in my favourite jumper. Wish there was a couple more weeks to go!”

“Jen was super welcoming and helpful. I was looking for advice on how to take in a pair of trousers; Jen suggested a much simpler way than I thought (I was completely over thinking) and they fit perfectly now! On the second class, I brought along an embroidered tablecloth I'd found in a junk shop and Jen helped me work out a good way to turn it into a top.”

“Great sessions- I got so much done and Jen is really helpful in giving advice and talking through best approaches to projects. I've just saved a shed load of money repairing various household items than having to re-buy”

“Very good class. Instructor was very patient, clear and helpful. All sewing equipment and thread was supplied and there was enough time for me to take in a pair of trousers and shorten jacket sleeves. highly recommended if you want an introduction to repair, upcycling or altering your clothes.”
