Restyle workshop in London and South East

Refreshing an old but not worthless garment is having a bit of a moment. Designers such as Noki - House of Sustainability - have given us real food for thought in how to stop the waste and yet still keep innovating. Taking a simple staple of the wardrobe that is no longer worn and has ceased to inspire us and yet, with a few simple changes, becomes a new and exciting addition to our daily wear. This workshop will be an opportunity, after some design imput, to use some simple dressmaking modifications and to play with embellishments and decoration. Even if you have no garment to restyle, Bee and Laura can bring along a project for you to work on.

Classes will cost £65 per person for 5 hours with a minimum of 3 students. All sewing materials, including embellishments and notions will be provided. Sewing machines will be the student's own unless organised otherwise. If you would like individual lessons or with one other person, classes will be scaled up at £120 for one and £95 per person for two.
All workshops are available in London and the South East at a location to be discussed on booking but can be arranged on an individual basis outside these areas. Contact Bee by e-mail at bee_at_home@hotmail.com
