Join us for an evening with Skye Pennant of Slow Stitch Club for the launch of her fantastic book Well Worn and for the secrets behind making the clothes you love last a lifetime.
Whether you a skilled stitcher or have never picked up a needle and thread before, Well Worn is the perfect book if you want to learn how to make the clothes you love live longer. The sustainable darning and sashiko techniques taught in this book fight against perfectionism as well as fast fashion.
Begin by getting to grips with core mending skills, with a handy introductory compendium of visible mending techniques. Then, move on to convenient garment-led chapters, from socks to jeans, and from knitwear to stretch fabric, each with a wide variety of ideas and advice for approaching whatever piece of clothing you wish to revive. Whether you're interested in fostering a more sustainable lifestyle, saving money by avoiding fast fashion, or simply engaging with a new creative outlet, this book is an accessible introduction for anyone looking to explore visible mending and revolutionise their wardrobe.
Why not bring a potential mending project along and get some advice on the night?
Books will be available to buy at the event and Skye will more than happy to sign them.
Please note: the venue is up a set of stairs and we regret that it is not wheelchair accessible. We strive to use accessible venues where possible. Skye is locally based, so if you are unable to come to the event itself for accessibility reasons, do get in touch and we arrange a meet and greet in the shop. There is no parking onsite, but several large car parks nearby (free after 6pm).
