Heads, hands , needles & toes, needles and toes! A great mending double bill weekender supporting several new menders to pick up the needle and thread and embark on the repair road!

On Saturday I was invited to host a “Mend it Loud” session alongside Patricia Murphy with East London Waste Authority in Barking Riverside thewilds_barkingriverside First time in this “new” neighbourhood and beautiful eco venue.

On Sunday, it was my monthly “Grandma’s Hands” at Fabrications - an introduction to key hand sewing stitches for garment repairs - fabric items in the morning and woollens in the afternoon.

Thank You to all who joined - for your presence and enthusiasm. It’s always a joy and privilege.

Could this be the equivalent of fishing photos?

Proudly showing off handmade draught excluders made entirely from scrap fabrics?

Recent happy customer! “Good things come to those who wait” edition

This top is PatchReWorked from shirt sleeves. I actually made it last year and is a personal favourite, however for some reason, the piece didn’t sell and find a new home!
Now I know why, because it was made for Anabel who brought it to life on a recent visit.

May it compliment your inner joy!
All the best starting Brit School!

📍 Fabrications, 7 Broadway Market, Hackney E8 4PH

🕰️ Opening times: Wednesday - Sunday, 11am - 5:30pm.

📝 Please Note: Fabrications will be closed 17th - 31st August. Re opening “as usual” from Wednesday 2nd September.

See you on Broadway!

Recent happy customers! Garment Edition

Slide 1: It was mutual appreciation with these lovely cow people! Holly Holly Spillar loved the PatchReWorked shirt top with boatneck button opening, ribbed waistband and sleeve ties.

Slide 2: “Unity” PatchReWorked sweatshirt going to a good home

Slide 3: Fonzil literally snapped up these Suit sleeve shorts as soon as they went out on the rail - a perfect fit but I did need to make the pocket bags deeper as “he carries everything in his pockets”

Slide 4: PatchReWorked knitwear samples (donated by a customer who worked previously as a buyer for Mulberry and couldn’t bear seeing samples being thrown away) paired with jogging pants sleeves. This cosy item will be appreciated come Autumn/Winter.

As with these beautiful souls, each item I make is a one off, upcycled with joy and care, in house at Fabrications, from would be waste clothing and textiles.

📍Fabrications, 7 Broadway Market, Hackney E8 4PH.

🕰️ Usual opening times: Wednesday - Sunday, 11am - 5:30pm

Recent happy customers! Bag edition!

Slide 1: Joe Joe Yonan chose a classic holster style bag, remade from a suit jacket. A gift and practical souvenir for his husband from a London trip. Thank You for all your compliments and beautiful presence.

Slide 2: Magda was drawn to the turquoise stitch texture of this reused piece of furnishing sample. The rest of the bag is patchworked stitch samples from my sewing classes. The handles are vintage ties. Thank You for recognising that this bag was made for you!

Slide 3: Krysztof loved the PatchReWorked suiting holster. Thank You for kindly gifted me some of your own artwork - spirits of nature affirmation / message cards, which I’ve been re distributing as suggested!

Slide 4: A giant holster PatchReWorked cross body bag with suit waist band strap was selected by SH LEE - Thank You for recognising a handy “keep safe” item accessory that will come in handy during DJ sets and travelling!

Much like each soul that is drawn to my work, each piece is one off, upcycled from would be waste garments, textiles and studio offcuts, made with joy and care in house at Fabrications.

📍Fabrications, 7 Broadway Market, Hackney E8 4PH.

🕰️ Usual opening times: Wednesday - Sunday, 11am - 5:30pm.

SEW! Grateful to all the beautiful souls that have joined my sewing classes this year. It’s such a privilege to pass on skills and knowledges and to witness confidence growing, enthusiasm, and creative learning (for both students and myself as the teacher)

Whilst I’ve been teaching for some time, my 3 evening x beginners sewing course (pictured in these slides) came about during Covid times as I had to get creative myself with generating income during a time of restriction and uncertainty (which in truth is the nature of existence but a pandemic is a salient reminder)
The 3 evening beginners sewing course is now one of the most popular on Fabrications calendar! With a full house every month! Thank You 🙏

I am taking a break from teaching in August to rest and renew, work on some commissions and visit family. But….

🗓️ New dates for workshops and events from September are now live and booking on Fabrications website calendar or Eventbrite profile (links in bio)

📍Fabrications, 7 Broadway Market, Hackney E8 4PH

Hope to see you in the ReImaginerium studio!
