Joyful Mending: Beginner Sewing Skills for Your Wardrobe

In the organizer's words:

HiloImpact 's sewing and repair courses invite you to pick up a needle and thread and discover clothing and home textiles from a whole new perspective - as a maker! Learning to sew opens the door to a better understanding of quality fabrics, craftsmanship and your own creativity. We believe that even a few basic sewing skills can enrich your life. Whether you are making small gifts for friends or clothes for yourself, you will recognize the value of caring for our clothes.

For us, sewing is more than a craft - it's a tool for sustainability, creativity and self-expression. Our mission: to use textiles for longer, reduce waste and rediscover the joy of DIY. Using locally salvaged materials, we promote a circular economy and inspire a culture of reuse.

Our course series is perfect for anyone who wants to learn to sew and gain practical skills in a relaxed atmosphere.
