Bring your favourite piece of clothing (jumper, denims, dress or head-wear) to the Clothes Clinic and learn how to mend, repair or make small alterations with professional assistance.
Give your clothing item a new lease of life and save it from landfill. When you book a place we will email you and ask for images of the clothes you will be bringing to the workshop so that we can prepare or inform you what to bring.
