What you'll do
If you're interested in personalising your clothing or learning a handy new repair skill, come along to this sewing workshop and learn a versatile tapestry technique that can be used for repair and decoration.Personalising your clothing makes that item one of a kind, bringing us closer to the clothes we love and sparking conversations with others about the importance of caring for the clothes we have. Monogramming is also a lovely way to make gifts for loved ones that bit more special.During this two-and-a-half-hour workshop held in Radical Giving's workshop space, Socko founder Emma will start by explaining what a duplicate stitch is, where it can be used and pass round examples. We'll then get hands on, working on the rhythm of the stitch before applying it to repair dropped stitches.The main task will be to select a letter and yarn to monogram a swatch of your own. Groups are kept small so you will have plenty of one-to-one time. You will take home the swatches you have worked on, handouts to refer back to and a needle and needle threader.Groups are kept small so that everyone gets enough one-to-one attention (and biscuits!)

Your teacher
Emma is the founder of sustainable British sock brand Socko. Socko’s mission is to extend the active life of clothing by re-teaching the lost art of darning. Emma’s dream of Socko began when searching for meaning in her work. She saw that her job satisfaction came when she was able to connect what she’d done with her working day with its positive impact upon others. Through combining her talent for craft with her love of people and planet, she identified her business idea. Socko launched its very first pair of sustainable socks at the end of 2018. Emma lives in north-east London with her partner and their sausage dog Alan.
