I've booked myself on to two workshops at Janome in Stockport for upcycling boring clothes. There's the 'jumper chop-shop' on Wednesday 20th November and 'jacket to 'waste-coat' on Thursday 21st November. They are run by Carys-Hedd of Wenchwear in Cardigan (https://www.wenchwear.co.uk/en/). Details of the workshops are here: https://www.janome.co.uk/masterclass They are £56 per day including lunch. You can book for one or two days.
I've seen Carys's shop in Cardigan and what she does is REALLY FABULOUS (follow the links on the Janome site). Unfortunately it now looks like the workshops might not run as there probably aren't enough people booked on. She's going to decide early next week.
So if anyone out there is interested in upcycling their boring old jumpers and jackets... Janome is easily reached from anywhere in Greater Manchester, Cheshire, West Yorkshire, Sheffield, Derbyshire etc.... (near the M60 and Stockport is 10 minutes from Manchester by train and 40 minutes from Sheffield). And you get to spend two days with me.... :D :D

Sounds interesting, if only I still lived on that side of the country.

Fabulous idea. Too far for me :)
I hope we see a lot more of this in the future.
