Events by this organizer

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 (2:30 – 5pm) We offer a discount when booking both classes!

Class Size: Max 6 students

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

–  Experiment with needle felting or ‘woolfill’ 

– 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

– Fix unravelled cuffs, other edges and seams

– Never throw away a sock again! 

Class Size: Max 6 students

TIME: 11am – 1:30pm

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)

Our fortnightly Community Craft Club is an evening that provides a space to bring along your current crafting or mending project, sewcialise with other crafters and get support and tips with your makes. It is also an opportunity to access our studio equipment and resources – sewing / over locker machines, tools and our cutting table.

Craft Club operates on a drop in basis, but if you would like to use a sewing machine * we do ask you to book in advance as machine spaces are limited. There is also a selection of threads, pins, some haberdashery, fabric offcuts (suitable for repair or practicing) available that you can use.

* Basic sewing machine skills required. If you’ve never used a sewing machine before we recommend attending our “Beginners Sewing 1” class first. 

Please Note:  this session is very popular, and we try to spread our time and love amongst the whole group, so are unable to teach you new skills or support complex or large projects.

The kinds of projects that would be suitable to bring along to Craft Club:

• Clothes mending / alterations – hand or machine sewing
• Ongoing dressmaking projects
• Small patchwork items
• Hoop embroidery or cross stitch work
• Ongoing crochet & knitting projects

Price: £5

Includes tea & biscuits. Feel free to bring along additional snacks if you wish.

Please Note: The workshop will take place in the Fabrications studio (which is downstairs from the shop via 12 steps)
