Top 10 Best Repair classes, courses, learnings kits and gifts in the UK

DID YOU KNOW? It is estimated that more than 100 billion items of clothing are produced globally every year. ...and that 65% of those items end up in landfill within 12 months! 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 class is to learn new skills for life. In this class you will learn how to darn holes in clothes loved by moths, caught on something and ripped or a pocket used over and over. How to re-sew a dropped hem and hand sewing a patch that will stay in place for years to come. Plus, any specific hand sewing stitches you would like to learn; I just ask to be informed beforehand to ensure I can touch up my own skills if needed. This class is for all ages, abilities and can be booked as a 1 to 1 class or as a group class. You will be in safe hands learning from myself (Claire) The Ethical Tailor with 3 years of teaching behind me in sewing skills. These classes also give back when brought, giving to a project helping people with learning difficulties gain cooking skills in the UK. This class will only happen on the dates and times shown.
