In a world of super fast fashion and over-consumption, being able to fix or alter your clothing enables you to be more sustainable and resilient. Your favourite jeans ripped? That great bandshirt doesn't fit properly? That dress is amazing but sadly lacks pockets? Your body developed curves and your old clothes don't work anymore? You found the perfect piece at the thrift shop but it hangs off you a bit weirdly? Your weight changed but you don't want to buy a completely new wardrobe? This workshops will teach basic sewing techniques using hands-on practice. The goal is that participants will be able to mend small rips and tears in their clothing by themselves. In addition to that, the workshop aims to provide a basic understanding of the engineering of clothing. The prerogative is: If you have an idea how clothes are constructed, you can develop ideas on how to hack them. This includes possible solutions to all the issues and questions listed above. Recommendations to helpful youtube channels will be included. Never forget that clothes are meant to fit your body, not the other way round. And if those clothes need some persuasion, this workshop will show you ways to do so. Materials will be provided. Feel free to bring an item of clothing you want to mend or maybe alter.
