What you'll do
Dates;Saturday 24th May 12:00-13:30Saturday 14th June 12:00-13:30Join us for a delightful sewing taster workshop where you will learn the art of darning and how to repair your favourite garments with love and care. In this welcoming and supportive class, you will discover the beauty of extending the life of your clothing through simple yet valuable techniques.During the workshop, you will be guided through step-by-step instructions on how to darn a hole in a knitted garment, either with a free darn technique or using a darning loom. Depending on your previous sewing experience, you may wish to start with a smaller hole and build your confidence for bigger challenges. We will provide all the necessary materials and tools needed, making this an accessible and enjoyable activity for everyone. The Remakery aims to be a natural fibre-only craft venue, due to our circularity goals, so all yarns will be 100% wool. We have a wide selection of Yorkshire spinners wool, but can't guarantee every colour, please bring yarn if you want a particular shade.You'll leave the workshop feeling empowered and inspired to tackle future garment repairs with ease.
What you'll get
A completed darn on his own garment.

Recent reviews of Beginners Clothing Repair - Darning Taster Workshop
- 5/5 from Eleanor Vigrass, attended Feb 2026: Selena was a fantastic teacher, really good at taking the time to explain everything- I really enjoyed the class. We were taught two types of stitches, and I got to fix my jumper! Thank you Selena for a fantastic class!
- 5/5 from Isobel Harrison, attended Feb 2026: Selena was lovely and helpful! We all brought something to repair and she provided the yarn and needles etc and taught us two different darning techniques. It was great to learn a new skill and chat with everyone.
- 5/5 from Marta Pascual Argente, attended Nov 2025: The teacher gave clear and useful instructions and was experienced. We focused on one technique, darning by creating a woven patch to reinforce the worn area or the hole. We worked with what we had and received specific advice to repair that item as well as being able to use materials and tools that she had available. I now feel able to do a much better job with my holes on my knitted clothes. The atmosphere was relaxed and chatty, I enjoyed meeting the other participants
- 5/5 from Emma Clarke, attended Nov 2025: Selina was a friendly, kind, patient and supportive teacher! I really liked the class and the space
- 5/5 from Michael Moulsdale, attended Oct 2025: a lovely hour and a half learning something new with an extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and patient tutor
- 5/5 from Janis Marsh, attended Oct 2025: Learnt loads and feel much more confident about my darning skills. Thank you!
- 5/5 from Harriet Cullum, attended Jun 2025: I loved this class. Great teacher, with a lovely calm energy and I learned a skill I know I'll use for the of my life. Highly recommended!

The Remakery started 10 years ago as a community space for repairing and upcycling furniture.Since then we have developed several communal workshops for a range of eco-craft activities, and an exciting programme to link climate action with the empowerment of making with your hands.Our practitioners have trained at London's top Arts schools, or developed their skills over years of self-discovery.Our programme is curated by Alice Holloway; A researcher in regenerative fashion with The RCA and London Met university, and Innovate Creative Catalyst grant winning regenerative fashion designer.The skills we share at the Remakery are proven to improve mental health, as well as change how class attendees see the world. We want everyone to feel empowered to make a difference, and we have seen how learning to make something is often in the first step towards changing something bigger.
