Swap, Stitch & Repair!

Event Details
Date 29 May 2025
Times 12 - 2.30pm
Location Barkerend family hub

Join us for a fun and friendly Textile Repair & Swap Workshop, popping up at the Barkerend Family Hub.

This creative event was born out of brilliant community chats with Duncan Burnett (Creative Practitioner for Bradford East) and Samina Ali (Producer for Bradford East). When we asked what you wanted to see in Bradford East, sewing was top of the list – so we’re threading it all together just for you!

Expect a whole host of sewing activities:

  • Tapestry
  • Textiles for the home
  • Garment making
  • DIY merchandise
  • And of course… our beloved Textile Repair Shop!

 

Bring along:
Something to repair, repurpose or upcycle – plus your trusty bag or box of bits and bats.
We’ll provide the basics: materials, tools, and loads of creative vibes!

Got a talent for textiles?
Why not volunteer and share your skills! Help others learn to make do and mend, and support Bradford East’s journey towards sustainability.

We can’t wait to stitch something beautiful together!
