Sew & Save - Community Mending workshop for Charity
with Sinead Garry

Got a button that has fallen off? A hole in your favourite cardigan? Do you wish you could turn up the hem on the school uniform?

Did you know we have fantastic sewing whizzes living in our community? These wonderful people have agreed to help others in the community with household sewing jobs and to pass on their knowledge where they can.  

If you are great with a needle and thread you are invited to join us - please get in touch!

Bring your household sewing jobs or 'micky mouse jobs' and receive the knowledge and guidance from our local experts so you can learn to DIY.  

This may not be workshop for very elaborate tasks but if there are enough people wanting to mend curtains - we can give it a try

You can make a donation on the day and this donation will go towards a local charity to be nominated by the experts on the day.

To empower you to fix your odd mending jobs and save on crazy mending fees

Remember lost skills or learn some new ones

Pass on the skills within the community

Reduce the throwing away of clothes unnecessarily

Bring neighbours together 

Reduce household expenses 

Generate funds for a local cause instead of paying big mending fees to one organisation

Date Nov 8th

Time 2- 4pm

Venue The Hub Ballyneety

This event is free - donation based - give what you can

Register your interest - numbers are limited but we hope to run this workshop every month

We will contact you to let you know if you have a spot and you can tell us in advance what you might be bringing so we can prepare. If we can't accommodate you this month, you will get into the next workshop 

We are better together!
