Makers Unite is a social enterprise that strives to change the fashion industry by re-purposing and repairing products with a story that matters. Their mission is to promote social inclusion through the act of making. In this workshop, Makers Unite will share about their work and you will discover first-hand some essential tips and tricks to master the basic skills needed to repair your wardrobe and extend the life of your favourite items. Change is possible, person by person, stitch by stitch. You may bring an clothing item you are emotionally attached to and that needs care or repair. If you don’t, there will be plenty of material for you to learn the basic skills.
