Free Youth Sewing Workshop

Want to learn practical skills, get creative, and make your clothes truly yours — for free?

Join our Youth Sewing Workshop — no experience needed!

Thanks to funding from ECCAN, we’re running FREE Sewing Workshops for young people aged 14–21. Whether you’re completely new to sewing or already have some experience, this is your chance to build useful skills, gain confidence and have fun.

Sewing is a practical and creative skill that can help reduce textile waste by repairing, making, adapting and reworking clothes instead of throwing them away.

A Taste of What You Can Do:

• 🪡 Learn the basics of using a sewing machine — step by step, even if you’ve never used one before.
• ✂️ Make a small sewing project — such as a zip pouch or tote bag, or work on your own idea.
• 🧵 Explore seams and finishing techniques — learn the building blocks of sewing.
• 👕 Try alterations and hems — make your clothes fit better or change their style.
• ♻️ Learn mending skills — from hand-stitching to creative repair techniques.
• ✨ Rework your own item — bring something you love but no longer wear, or a piece that needs fixing, and give it a new life.

We’ll provide all the equipment and materials.

It’s not just about sewing — it’s also a chance to meet other young people, share ideas and relax in a welcoming and creative space.

You’ll leave with new skills, something you’ve made yourself, and more confidence to keep creating. 💚
