We are getting back to what we love the most at Make Mee Studio. Saving your clothes from the back of the wardrobe or even worse... the bin! Our monthly mending sessions will give you 2 hours of help and guidance on how to mend your clothes or textiles items.
Our team of expert sewing facilitators will teach you how patch your holes, hem your trousers, darn your socks, hide a stain. Whatever you bring us, we love a challenge!
Very often there will be more than one way to fix something. We can talk about your options and offer visible and invisible mending advice where possible. We will then start you on your mending journey.
-
This session is open to everyone. No previous sewing experience necessary.
-
Please bring along items that need fixing. If you want to try out techniques on fabric scraps before you do them on your item that is fine. We will not be teaching you how to make items from scratch in these sessions.
We can't promise we will be able to help you fix every problem, but we love giving it a shot!
-
We have an array of equipment available to help with your repairs. Sewing machines, overlockers, heat press etc.
We will show you how to use any equipment you need for your repair safely but we may not have time to show you in great detail how to thread a machine for example.
We have A LOT of materials / haberdashery in the studio you can use and purchase from us for your mends, but, we obviously can't guarantee that we have everything. If you want something really specific for your item like an unusual colour thread or particular zip we advise you to source it and bring it with you.
