About Us

Our Mission
A collaboration between Eleanor & Sarah, we were introduced by the team at St. Margaret's House in 2018.
The original idea for the name came from creating a workshop space that acted as a practical therapy for our collective addiction to fast fashion.
The workshop also offers a therapeutic space for slowing down and taking a more mindful approach to fashion.

Our Mission
Our mission is to create a more sustainable fashion industry through sharing clothing repair and up-cycling skills.
Our commitment to repair and reuse extends throughout our work. From the equipment that we find in charity shops to the recycled card we print our flyers on.

All of the mending techniques and tips that we share mean nothing without the people who come to our workshops or connect with us online.
Getting together as a group and seeing how many people are engaged with sustainability is inspiring for us all.

Sarah Richards
Eleanor studied Textile Design at Falmouth University before working in the textile industry in production roles for luxury fashion and interior design studios, creating bespoke, hand-crafted pieces. An interest in working in a more sustainable and accessible part of the textile industry led to her returning to education to complete a master's degree in Textiles at Chelsea College of Art, with a focus on encouraging repair and reuse through creative techniques.
Alongside running the workshops, Eleanor works at Arts Emergency, a charity and network that supports young people from underrepresented backgrounds to get into the creative industries.

Sarah has been sewing since she was a young child, making dresses for her Sindy dolls, progressing to clothes for herself. Initially taught by her Nan, she studied Fashion Design for four years at The London College of Fashion. Sarah has worked in the Fashion Retail industry as a junior buyer and executive assistant.
Working in a fast fashion environment inspired Sarah to discover other sources of fabric that are more sustainable, such as vintage fabrics, reusing textiles and preventing them from being thrown into landfill. Sarah enjoys sharing her sewing skills with others, helping them to repair their clothes.
