Leicester’s Textiles Industry are embracing the Leicester Giving Day!

We are delighted to team up with the Fashion Technology Academy to offer members of the community the opportunity to use the space and sewing machines of the academy to upcycle upcycle their clothes, do alterations and give new life to garments and prevent them being discarded and going into landfill.

Our textiles sector has been the focus of a fair bit of negative press over the last few years and as organisations are emerging to reinvigorate the industry, it is fantastic to see organisations coming into the spotlight to connect with the community and promote sustainable fashion.

The academy will be open for the event from 10-3 on Friday 18th November.

The use of machines and teaching assistance is all Free and there is end of life fabric and trims that can be bought at very low prices to support with your repurpose project.

We can already think of a number of groups that will jump at the chance for this opportunity!
