Those keen to brush up on their sewing skills joined us for our Make and Mend afternoon last week. Transition Town Faversham’s Reduce, Reuse, Recycle group held the session as the first of their skills sharing events. Those with sewing knowledge were in the Macknade’s function room, Selling Road, to offer tips and advice on using a sewing machine, taking in clothes and trying out new stitches.
Many made a bag or cushion cover from unwanted material, curtains or clothes. An old denim skirt up-cycled into a bag was the most original creation.
Watch this space for details of future skills sharing events, and, please if you have a skill you would be willing to share, do get in touch. We would love to hear from you.
