Ayoka Fashion Show Workshop
Do you love sewing? Love altering, mending, upcycling and embelishing?
As part of Second Hand September and Sustainable Fashion Week, St. Margaret's House are giving their community the chance to see clothes from their charity shop, Ayoka, as they have never seen them before: on the catwalk! But we need you to put the pieces together.
Join the team from Fast Fashion Therapy as they guide you through taking a piece of clothing from Ayoka and turning it into a high fashion item to be paraded down the catwalk!
Find out more about the Ayoka Second Hand Fashion Show here.
