This is a fun activity in Edinburgh
Learn how to breathe new life into your loved items in this hands-on mending workshop in Edinburgh, picking up simple, sustainable techniques you'll use again and again. You'll walk away with more than just a new skill – you'll have a beautifully mended item ready to proudly wear out in public again.
Don't worry if you're a complete beginner; this class is designed to be welcoming and supportive from start to finish. Over the 2 hours, you'll be shown demonstrations of the most common kinds of repairs, from patching up tears and darning holes to fixing zips and keeping your textiles alive for years to come.
You'll then get hands-on time to put these techniques into practice, either repairing a piece you've brought along yourself or trying your hand on a piece provided. With guidance on hand throughout, you'll build real confidence in mending as you go, leaving with both a repaired item and the know-how to keep extending the life of your wardrobe at home.
