Janome are helping this great project by sponsoring their efforts with sewing machines.

 

Eco Stitch Club - Remake, Repair & Empower

​

Janome are working together with Eco Stitch Clubs to help build pupils confidence in learning how to use a sewing machine. It is a fantastic opportunity for children to learn new manual skills, they create small fun projects before moving on to clothing – learning speed control, sewing fundamentals and techniques.

In 2020, co-founder Amanda set out to create an online programme to support Design and Technology staff in teaching these important new life-skills in the classroom. Empowering the next generation with the skills to repair and upcycle old clothes and teaching children where clothes come from, and how fun and easy it is to extend the life of old textiles, will be crucial to reversing the huge impact fast fashion has on the world every day.

Wench Wear

Wench is an independent recycled clothing label which also specialises in hands-on recycled clothing workshops.

Old or unfashionable clothes often end up in the landfill when they could be given a new lease of life on the catwalk, or at least an occasional Friday night out on the town.

​

Recycled clothes are all the rage and can often cost a lot to buy, but there is another way to get your hands on the latest frocks: you can make your own instead.

​

Simply by picking up a needle and thread you can turn out fabulous clothes which perfectly fit your size and shape and your personal style, any way you want them.

​

Our mission is to help you make your very own ravishing recycled creations. Even by cycling there… Yes they do use a bicycle to run a sewing machine!

​

Dare to be unique. Inspiration (and perhaps a little help) is all you need.

​

Let your imagination run wild and let rip!
