Repair Clinic drop-in (Nov – March)

<< Back to Creative KHL  workshop programme

Repair Clinic drop-in at the KHL Community Workshop

Join us for a FREE evening of getting your favourite clothes back to their best. We’ll have three fantastic crafters to teach a few basic repair stitches that will have you fixing up your stuff & putting buttons back on. You could even make yourself a little pin cushion for your next textile adventures. You can also bring your items in need of repair for advice!

Here is a list of things we can teach you to do:

• Replace a button
• Patch a hole in trousers or jeans
• Make adjustment to the length of clothes
• Darn a hole in your favourite woollies
• Change the zip on your trousers (though we lack the equipment to do this for jeans currently)

Get in Contact: We can do basic repairs on the spot like sewing on a button or doing some visible darning (with the materials we already have on hand). If you would like us to try and colour match your garment or teach you a trickier repair (zips, large holes, etc) email tom@madewithmany.org a week in advance with any pictures you have and we’ll make sure we’re prepared.
