Five of our favourite techniques to repair textiles and bring value back to existing materials.

This course covers five key sewing techniques to bring function and aesthetic back to clothing and discarded materials. Great for torn jeans, worn jackets or just creating something new from weird and wonderful materials lying around the house. Like busted bike covers or duffle bags.
