INTRODUCING

We're teaming up with Lucky Saint and Repair My Denim to breathe life back into your favourite pieces.

---

On Tuesday 18th August we're running a sashiko denim repair workshop at The Lucky Saint, W1. Ten spaces, £25 a ticket, including a pint of Lucky Saint and all the materials you need to complete your first repair.

Simply bring along a pair of jeans in need of some attention. Sashiko is suitable for the vast majority of fabric repairs - think knees, pockets, seams but not zips. And if you don't have an imminent repair, but want to prepare, we'll have denim swatches to practise on for when the time inevitably comes.

Showing you how is Cosmin Diaconu, founder of Repair My Denim. He's spent years bringing jeans back from the brink, and he'll guide you through the whole process.

The idea is simple. Come along, learn a skill, and enjoy a couple of hours of slow time and conversation.

[No physical or e-tickets will be sent. Once you’ve purchased your ticket, your name will be added to the guest list along with the number of tickets purchased.]

WHAT IS SASHIKO?

Sashiko was pioneered by Japanese farming and fishing families for whom cloth was too precious to throw away. They reinforced jackets with rows of simple running stitches, and garments were mended and handed down, every repair adding strength and story. Necessity became craft, and it's still considered by many as the best answer to a worn knee or a torn pocket.

Steady, unhurried and oddly hard to put down once you've got the knack. It's a fine way to spend an evening.
