Hand Sewing Workshops: Stitching as Care, Resistance, and Skill
In these intimate, hands-on workshops, we explored the power of hand sewing as a tool for repair, expression, and sustainability. Participants learned a range of visible mending techniques—from traditional darning to creative patchwork—while reflecting on the stories our garments carry and the value of extending their life.
These sessions weren’t just about fixing clothes—they were about reclaiming skills, resisting waste, and reconnecting with the tactile knowledge that lives in our hands. Whether attendees came to mend a beloved piece or to learn from scratch, they left with practical tools, inspiration, and a renewed sense of agency over what they wear.
Offered as part of our ongoing commitment to circularity and community learning, these workshops created space to slow down, stitch together, and imagine a future where care is embedded in every thread.

Machine Sewing Workshop: Power, Precision, and Everyday Repair
In this practical, beginner-friendly workshop, we demystified the sewing machine and empowered participants to take control of their garment repairs and alterations. From threading and tension to straight stitching and patching, attendees learned how to confidently operate a machine and apply essential techniques to fix, adjust, and extend the life of their clothes.
The workshop focused on sewing as a life skill—one that supports sustainability, self-sufficiency, and creative agency. Participants brought in garments in need of care and walked away with restored pieces, new knowledge, and a deeper connection to the craft of making.
This session was part of our ongoing mission to cultivate circular habits and build textile literacy through accessible, community-rooted education. Whether you’ve never touched a sewing machine or just needed a refresher, this workshop offered a space to learn by doing—together.
