This traditional Japanese technique transforms repair into decoration, allowing you to strengthen and extend the life of well-loved clothes while creating something visually striking and completely unique.
This workshop is welcoming and accessible, even if you’re new to visible mending or hand stitching. Selina is a patient, supportive teacher who will guide you at your own pace, offering advice tailored to your garment and skill level.
What to expect:
  • An introduction to sashiko and its traditional and contemporary uses.
  • Guidance on repairing woven garments such as cotton shirts or jeans.
  • Learn mindful, repeat stitch techniques.
  • Combine practical repair with creative, aesthetic choices.
  • One-to-one support throughout the session.
  • Time to work on a garment you’ve brought along.
You’ll leave with a newly mended item, a deeper appreciation for slow, sustainable repair, and the confidence to continue sashiko mending at home. This is a thoughtful, calming workshop that helps you reconnect with your clothes and learn new skills.

She was able to flexibly approach everyone’s different projects and needs and we had enough time to finish our projects and learn each step along the way. The Remakery is a wonderful space to do this in and has a very welcoming and warm atmosphere.

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.
