Give a worn piece of clothing another chance at the Sewing Repair Cafe in Bethnal Green. This special Wednesday evening session is part of St Margaret’s House’s Discover Festival.

What to bring

Choose a clean garment with a simple repair, such as a loose button, small tear or hem. The organisers describe this as a sewing repair session, so it is not suitable for electrical items or complicated alterations.

The listing does not advertise advance booking. Places and volunteer time may still be limited, so arriving near the start is sensible.

Useful questions

Is the session free?

Do I need sewing experience?
