Regent Park Sewing Studio

Hands which remind us that slow, mindful making matters. Choosing to see is choosing to care - for our clothes, our planet and each other.

Saturdays at the sewing studio are an opportunity to connect, share stories and lift each other up through creativity. We show up for each other, and that's what makes magic.

There's something special about learning together. Come as you are and leave with new skills (and some new friends too)

✨️ See you in 2025, with lots of new initiatives and upcyling ideas!!
