We would like to thank Stitched Up Up for an amazing workshop with The Friends For Life Group. We made draught excluders to use at home.

Anne Marie was super excited about being able to try using a sewing machine and spent over an hour using it.

Right now, 44,000 Bangladeshi garment workers are facing arrest after protesting for a fair minimum wage.

We’re on Oxford Street to demand:

🪧An end to the crackdown on workers' rights in Bangladesh
💰A pay rise for the people who make our clothes

WORKSHOPS // We were at @officialuom running a Wardrobe Surgery last week - learning how to visibly mend and alter their wardrobe, to ensure it's loved and kept out of landfill for years to come ♻️

INSPIRATION // All stain, all gain with this easy applique tutorial. This is perfect to cover up marks like we do on this t-shirt, and it also works great to spruce up an unloved garment, or to cover holes and tears.

WHAT'S ON // APRIL, ARE WE HAPPY TO SEE YOU! 🌼🪺🌞🌷🐰

This month, we thought we'd share some of the work we'll be doing around Manchester in April. Most are private bookings (PB) but the Stretford Community Dye Garden (SCDG) activities are open to anyone.
