Sew WHAT? Make Mee @ Circle Collective
Our creative and accessible mending and upcycling workshops at the Lewisham branch of Circle Collective are back!
These workshops are all about encouraging people to think more about where their clothes come from and where they go when they are ‘thrown away’ and the positive environmental impact of repairing and re-wearing what they already own or things that are pre-loved.
Thanks to the Lewisham Repair, Reuse, Recycle grant & The Youth First Legacy Fund Make Mee Studio are running an sustainable sewing training programme for Circle Collective staff and trainees.
