Overview

Fixing Small Tears & Rips

A tiny tear doesn’t have to mean the end of your favourite clothing! In this creative, hands-on session, you’ll learn simple techniques to repair small rips and holes so they disappear—or become a stylish little feature.

We’ll guide you through:

🧵 Invisible (ladder) stitch for clean, subtle mends

✂️ Whipstitching for strong, reliable repairs

🪡 Reinforcing seams so they stay sturdy

🎨 Tips for matching thread and fabric so your fix blends beautifully

You’ll get plenty of practice mending pre-cut “rips” in fabric scraps or you’re welcome to bring along something from home that needs a little love.

All materials are provided, including needles, thread, scissors, and optional stabilisers to help you get the neatest finish.

To keep your repair journey going, you’ll also take home a mini repair kit!

Join us to turn small flaws into satisfying fixes and keep your clothes in circulation for longer!

This is a FREE event however spaces are limited, please advise if you can no longer attend.

Suitable for ages: 16+
