          Recycled Fashion and Learning to Sew
                                                                                  
                                      

              The workshops are run by June and Ria, mum and daughter partnership.
                                  

                          
We bridge the age gap for design and skills. 



In the spirit of recycling and sewing to benefit local communities, the intention is that the workshops are open and embracing. 

 Work shops are targeted at different levels, ages and abilities and with different outcomes, enabling as broad as possible cross-section of the community to become involved.

                              
 

            Whether you sew like a pro, or you cant thread a needle weve got what it takes!            
 
                                                               
                                      

The aim of these workshops is to raise awareness of recycling and to share sewing skills within the local communities.
In particular groups and community organisations such as:
 
                                  Ethnic communities                           Youth groups
                           Schools                           Womens groups                         
                                      After school clubs                         Environmental groups                 
                                                                   Evening classes

Ria Loveridge
Was teaching hand sewing and recycling after she graduated.

Bsc Anthropology

Costumier for BBC


She has been part of theatre productions and burlesque shows making costumes and back
drops.

With the recycle and sew philosphy she proclaims that learning a few basic skills and finding a bit of creativity anyone can revamp their old clothes or make something new within hours and wear it that night!
She enjoys destroying the old belief that sewing is hard, its only hard if you want absolute perfection, if you look at the clothes you buy they are rarely sewn straight...just have a look!
