In our free repair workshop “From Damaged to Renewed,” you will learn practical techniques for repairing damaged clothing. Under the guidance of experienced instructors, you will use basic tools such as needle, thread, scissors, and various repair materials. You will learn how to mend holes, replace buttons, and fix other small damages.

Bring your own garments and discover how to give them a new lease on life. At the end of the workshop, you’ll leave not only with renewed clothing but also with new skills and a deeper understanding of sustainability in fashion.

Special at the festival: we will also be using Carhartt repair kits! Do you have Carhartt workwear that needs some love? Come by, and we’ll repair it together!

We are an enthusiastic group of women who have completed the Sewing Training at Amira. With the knowledge and skills we’ve gained, we aim to help others discover and develop their technical talents in fashion and craft. We encourage the use of local materials and contribute to a more sustainable world. Together, we create an inspiring environment where enjoyment and satisfaction are central.

Stichting Aminah, with its meeting center Amira in Bos en Lommer, offers a warm and informal atmosphere for vulnerable people in the neighborhood. Our Basic Sewing Training and Repair Workshop help women with barriers to employment discover their talents and progress to further development and work. Join us and explore the possibilities of craft sewing!
