Event Details
Learn the basics of embroidery and turn it into an essential tool: a needle pouch (10×15 cm) Perfect if you wanted to give embroidery a try whilst also getting the satisfaction of making one of the most fundamental toolkits for stitchers across time.
Step by Step: Your needle pouch with your own personal touch
You’ll be choosing a selection of recycled fabrics that will become the background for your embroidery and the main cover of your needle pouch. You’re welcome and encouraged to bring a small selection of your own scraps if you have a dream fabric put aside for the occasion or a stash you’ve been meaning to do something with for a while.
Note: If you’re not sure you want a needle pouch we can easily adapt the design into a envelope card case or small notebook cover of a similar size.
A sampler and a little more: practical is beautiful
We’ll then go through the most important stitches that are both practical and decorative, with tips and tricks to make them consistent, interesting and fun.
As we piece together the cover onto a layer of felt you’ll practice embroidering around borders and seams . Before your final piece is complete you’ll choose to add small extra details based on your needs ( for instance: a small pocket or fastening ribbon).
What you’ll learn:
In this workshop you’ll learn a series of basic stitches and creative variations belonging to the family of the back stitch, blanket stitch, feather stitch and a few more surface decorative stitches that can be personalised to your taste. You’ll also learn how to make a needle pouch or small embroidered cover using hand stitching only.
Example list of stitches:
Back stitch ( whipped back stitch, Threaded Chain Stitch, Pekinese backstitch)
Running stitch (stepped running stitch)
2 types of Blanket stitch
Whip stitch
Feather Stitch
And choose from a selection of other stitches that include:
Lazy daisy
Blanket Wheel
Chain stitch
French Knot
Couching
Woven rose
Satin stitch
Your Tutor: The class is taught by Milou Stella who set up Moody Bright Designs – a project that focuses on hand embroidered customisation of second-hand items. As a trained painter (Slade school of art), she plays with contrast, colour and texture. She began “Moody Bright Designs” as a response to concerns about fast fashion and the environment, with an urgent need to slow down and appreciate the process of making something unique and of quality, whilst avoiding waste as much as possible.

Event Details
Here at Fabrications we are regularly asked if we undertake repairs and alterations to various items of clothing. The most common repairs requested include such things as: hemming skirts or trousers, repairing holes in pockets, repairing small tears or rips in garments, sewing on missing buttons, and repairing or patching denim jeans which have worn away on the inside thigh area.
Although we do not undertake garment repairs we usually offer those enquiring two options for repairs. The first option we recommend is that the person try using a dry cleaners to undertake the job. However, we always point out that this can often work out as an expensive option. Along with that option we always try to encourage the person to try to carrying out the repair themselves, offering advice on ways that they might achieve this.
Sadly, in recent years, and maybe as a result our growing “throw away” culture, there has been a marked decline in the practice of learning even the most basic of clothing repair skills. As such, many of us now lack a real understanding of the various stitching techniques and tricks, used in basic fabric repairs.
In light of this situation, Barley has put together a comprehensive hand repair workshop focusing on both common fabric and woollen garments. The workshop is not only very informative, but also very enjoyable encouraging a really mindful approach to clothing repairs.
On completion of the class participants will confidently be able to:
– Know how to use 5 key hand sewing stitches: Back Stitch, Buttonhole Stitch, Running Stitch, Slip Stitch & Whipping Stitch
– ‘Hem’ by hand (changing the length of a garment or repair a frayed edge)
– Fix rips, holes and other wear & tear areas
– Repair seams (joins in your garment)
– Sew on buttons, poppers & hooks/bars
– Explore traditional & creative choices for your repair work
– Work on your mending pile with joy!
We have another class that focuses on Woollen Repairs taking place in the afternoon. We offer a discount when booking both classes!
TIME: 11am – 1:30pm
Class Size: Max 6 students
Class Includes: A starter sewing kit is provided. You will make a small needle case whilst practicing the stitches (you are also welcome to bring along items of clothing to get advice on / work on directly)
PRICE: £45 or £80 (when booking both fabric & woollen repairs classes)
TO BOOK: Contact us directly on 020 7275 8043 or BOOK ONLINE
Please Note: The workshop will take place in the Fabrications studio (which is downstairs from the shop via 12 steps) It is limited to 4 participants to ensure social distancing.

Here at Fabrications we are regularly asked if we undertake repairs and alterations to various items of clothing. With Hackneys moth epidemic on the increase, it should come as no surprise that the most popular requests are for repairs to woollen jumpers.
Although we do not undertake garment repairs we usually offer those enquiring two options for repairs. The first option we recommend is that the person try using a dry cleaners to undertake the job. However, we always point out that this can often work out as an expensive option. Along with that option we always try to encourage the person to try to carrying out the repair themselves, offering advice on ways that they might achieve this.
Sadly, in recent years, and maybe as a result our growing “throw away” culture, there has been a marked decline in the practice of learning even the most basic of clothing repair skills. As such, many of us now lack a real understanding of the various stitching techniques and tricks, used in basic fabric repairs. This is also the case with traditional weaving and darning techniques used to mend and prolong the life of our cherished woollen garments.
In light of this situation, Barley has put together a comprehensive hand repair workshop focusing on common woollen garment repairs. The workshop is not only very informative, but also very enjoyable encouraging a really mindful approach to clothing repairs.
On completion of the class participants will confidently be able to:
– Use 2 types of ‘Darning’ techniques: Traditional Weave & Swiss Darning
– Apply techniques to different weights of woolens from fine cashmere jumpers to chunky hand knits
– Explore ‘Visible Mending’
– Consider different colour combinations and creative features
– Never throw away a sock again!
Class Size: Max 6 students
TIME: 2:30 – 5pm
Class Includes: A starter darning kit and swatches to practise on (you are also welcome to bring along items of clothing to work on directly. Please ensure any moth eaten items have been put in the freezer for at least 1 week to kill any moth eggs that may still be dormant in the item before introducing to our studio!)
PRICE: £45 or £80 (when booking the 2 sessions – fabric & woollen repairs)

This and the variations in tension and pressure applied in construction mean that every piece produced is unique. Learn the traditional methods of this beautiful series of techniques and how to dye your creations in indigo to achieve a range of beautiful blues.
Circles are a common motif in Shibori patterns and work very well in combination to make repeating patterns.
Workshop Format: During the morning you will learn the techniques and knots required for shibori stitching and then stitch up a number of different shibori circle patterns and dye sample pieces in indigo dye. In the afternoon you will apply your learning from the morning, and design and dye your own scarf or cushion cover
Fabrications welcomes Rob Jones to teach this class! Rob is a textile designer specialising in the ancient Japanese art of Shibori, using stitch, bound and clamped resist techniques to create intricate patterns and textures on scarves, table linens and lampshades. He selects both new and vintage textiles, sourcing beautiful old kimono silk from Japan and vintage and modern cloth from the UK for his creations, made at his studio in North London. Rob has studied at West Dean College and under Bryan Whitehead in Fujino, Japan.
On completion of the class participants will confidently be able to:
– How to make the Shibori starting and ending knots to create tight, crisp patterns
– Sew different types of Shibori circles:
* Simple nui, ori nui and maki nui circles
* Makiage bounded spiderweb patterns
* Boshi (capped) circles (with and without visible stitches)
* The traditional Karamatsu (larch) pattern
* Grid shaped circles and other variations will be presented if time permits
– How to dye your pieces with indigo dye
– Information on setting up an indigo dye bath and how to get different shades of this lovely blue (indigo is a natural dye)
– Unpick your finished work to reveal your designs
The class is suitable for Beginners, as well as those wishing to explore more techniques in Shibori.
Class Size: 6 students

Create your own unique Re-worked sweatshirt from preloved sweatshirts or fleece /sweatshirt offcuts in a creative environment.
Event Details
‘Zero Waste Sewing’ is a philosophy that encourages the reuse of fabric offcuts, the repurposing of preloved textiles / clothing or the redesign of patterns/garment construction to minimise or create no waste. It encourages us to look at ‘waste’ materials as a valuable resource or be more mindful with the ways we use materials in the first place.
With a spirit of adventure, join Barley Massey for a fun and social event in creatively transforming your own ‘waste’ textiles into something new and functional. We will be taking inspiration from Wendy Ward’s book “Sewing Basics for Every Body” and using the “Felix Sweatshirt” pattern as our starting point. A loose fitting, casual top, an essential core garment for any handmade wardrobe! The book is also available in Fabrications shop.
Barley has been a professional “upcycler”, championing creative textile reuse for over 25 years. She will share some of the techniques and tips from her own making practice and show you a collection of examples to inspire you before you get started on your own version.
All levels of sewer are welcome but basic sewing skills are recommended. If you have never used a sewing machine before and would like to attend this class, we recommend attending our Beginners Sewing 1 class first.
On completion of this class participants will confidently be able to:
– look at ‘waste’ textiles from a new perspective
– create your own zero waste version of the “Felix Sweatshirt”
– develop sensitivity in combining different colours and shapes
– patchwork together to create your own unique cloth from offcuts also known as ‘Scrap Busting’
– understand how to “Trace Off” (copy) a paper pattern
– work with a ‘basic block’ and understand how to create variations and expand your range of items from 1 block
– work with knitted / stretch material on a domestic sewing machine
– add ribbed band edging – cuffs, neck & hem bands neatly
– walk away with a completed item
CLASS SIZE: 4 Students
TO BRING: Sweatshirt offcuts or at least 2 old sweatshirt items from home or your local charity shop. If you are unsure on what to bring please do contact Fabrications to discuss further.
CLASS INCLUDES: Your own copy of Wendy Ward’s new book “Sewing Basics for Every Body” which contains 20 different ‘essential’ designs. Pattern paper to trace off your sweatshirt pattern. Threads, other haberdashery and use of equipment.
PRICE: £85

Event Details
Sashiko, meaning ‘little stab’ is the Japanese art of stitching beautiful patterns using running stitch. Often used to add strength, texture and warmth to old garments, Sashiko has become synonymous with complex repeating patterns and precise stitching. Although most people will be familiar with the traditional white stitches on indigo fabric, sashiko thread actually comes in many shades, allowing for a wonderful variety of colourful designs.
Your tutor is Rob Jones, a textiles designer who takes his inspiration from Japanese textiles disciplines including sashiko, boro, shibori and katagami stenciling. Rob works with indigo and a selection of natural plant dyes and works out of a studio under an old railway arch in Hackney. He regularly teaches Shibori and indigo dyeing at Fabrications.
In this class you will learn:
– How to mark up your patterns on fabric using a variety of pens and templates
– How to stitch neatly and precisely, Sashiko is all about even stitching!
– The rights and wrongs turning corners, crossing lines and intersections
– Starting and finishing a row of stitch allowing room for stretching and washing
– How to make a hatamusubi (loom knot) to maximize the use of your thread
Rob will bring examples of his work as well as a number of reference books for inspiration to continue your practice at home.
TIME: 6:30pm – 9pm
Class Size: 6 students
Materials: You will be provided with a tote bag as a project using sashiko threads in a colour and pattern of your choosing as part of the class. Students can also bring a piece of your own fabric to work on if you prefer.

Event Details
Learn the basics of embroidery and turn it into an essential tool: a needle pouch (10×15 cm) Perfect if you wanted to give embroidery a try whilst also getting the satisfaction of making one of the most fundamental toolkits for stitchers across time.
Step by Step: Your needle pouch with your own personal touch
You’ll be choosing a selection of recycled fabrics that will become the background for your embroidery and the main cover of your needle pouch. You’re welcome and encouraged to bring a small selection of your own scraps if you have a dream fabric put aside for the occasion or a stash you’ve been meaning to do something with for a while.
Note: If you’re not sure you want a needle pouch we can easily adapt the design into a envelope card case or small notebook cover of a similar size.
A sampler and a little more: practical is beautiful
We’ll then go through the most important stitches that are both practical and decorative, with tips and tricks to make them consistent, interesting and fun.
As we piece together the cover onto a layer of felt you’ll practice embroidering around borders and seams . Before your final piece is complete you’ll choose to add small extra details based on your needs ( for instance: a small pocket or fastening ribbon).
What you’ll learn:
In this workshop you’ll learn a series of basic stitches and creative variations belonging to the family of the back stitch, blanket stitch, feather stitch and a few more surface decorative stitches that can be personalised to your taste. You’ll also learn how to make a needle pouch or small embroidered cover using hand stitching only.
Example list of stitches:
Back stitch ( whipped back stitch, Threaded Chain Stitch, Pekinese backstitch)
Running stitch (stepped running stitch)
2 types of Blanket stitch
Whip stitch
Feather Stitch
And choose from a selection of other stitches that include:
Lazy daisy
Blanket Wheel
Chain stitch
French Knot
Couching
Woven rose
Satin stitch

Event Details
Boro (more accurately ‘Boro boro’), meaning ‘rags or tatters’ is the art of repairing fabric using scraps and stitching. A source of shame in Japan for many years, the fabrics are now highly prized and can fetch significant sums. Boro work follows the British wartime tradition of ‘make do and mend’ but was used out of necessity in Japan to prolong the life of clothes and bedding due to extreme poverty and the scarcity of textiles.
Your tutor is Rob Jones, a textiles designer who takes his inspiration from Japanese textiles disciplines including sashiko, boro, shibori and katagami stenciling. Rob works with indigo and a selection of natural plant dyes and works out of a studio under an old railway arch in Hackney. Rob regularly teaches Shibori and Indigo dyeing at Fabrications.
In this class you will learn:
– The history and origins of Boro
– How to repair a garment using scraps, both modern and vintage
– How to use sashiko stitching to enhance your work
– Practice using visible repair to enhance and strengthen textiles
It is recommended that students bring an item of clothing you wish to repair although fabric and threads are provided should you wish to just practice or start on a piece of your very own boro.
Rob will bring examples of their work as well as a number of reference books should anyone wish to continue their practice at home.
Class Size: 6 students
TIME: 6:30 – 9pm
Please Bring: An item of clothing you wish to repair (we recommend something ‘stable’ such as denim wear, linen or cotton items) There will also be fabric and threads provided should you wish to just practice or start on a piece of your very own boro.
Includes all other materials
Packs of indigo dyed shibori and vintage textiles will also be available to purchase on the day in addition to the class should you wish to continue your practice at home.
