Mend and Make do to save buying new!

Mrs Sew n Sew was the pioneer in the make do and mend movement of the wartime 1940's. She was thrifty with a needle and rallied the gals together to show how you still could live a life of fashion on a budget of rations.

Why not take a leaf out of Mrs Sew n Sew's book and have your own eco sewing and craft party? Rally the guys and gals together and have a 'make do and mend' workshop. Create hats and accessories out of fabric scraps, or have a swishing party!

Gather your friends at someone's house and get ALL those bits and bobs you haven’t thrown away sorted and ready to wear.

If you would like to run a make do and Mend Workshop with a group of colleagues or friends or even as a Craft team building exercise, please contact me, and I can set you up in your own space with all the machinery and equipment and expertise required for a fun 'make do and mend session'

Here are the options:-

'Miss Libby Rose: Make Do and Mend Afternoon or Morning Tea Session'

1) Alterations, mending and customising clothing and accessories is the name of the game.  In this sewing and customising workshop we will look at taking hems up, hems taken down, waistbands taken in, waistbands taken out, dress alterations, new zips, button holes, you name it, we’ll help you learn how.

2) Customising - revamp, re-work, recycle:
We will look at fabric flowers, corsage’s, making something out of old unused clothing, fabric scraps or anything you fancy - the only limit is your imagination!
