Join our Create, Repair & Rewear Workshop and give your clothes and textiles a new life. Bring something you would like to repair, transform, or upcycle and explore practical techniques by hand or with a sewing machine, with guidance throughout the workshop. You can also experiment with creative repair techniques such as embroidery or turn old fabrics into something new, like a simple cushion. No sewing experience is needed. Everyone aged 16+ is welcome. Come create, learn, and enjoy a relaxed, social evening while reducing textile waste and extending the life of what you already own.
Yara Kanaan Atelier is an Amsterdam, based fashion atelier specializing in sustainable custom-made garments, alterations, and small-batch collections. We focus on eco-friendly materials and low waste production methods while promoting a more conscious approach to fashion. We also organize hands-on workshops across Amsterdam where participants learn practical ways to reuse, repair, and care for their clothing, helping to extend the life of garments and reduce textile waste.
This hands-on workshop is open to everyone, and no sewing experience is needed. Bring clothing or textiles to repair, transform, or upcycle, and learn practical hand or machine-sewing techniques with guidance throughout. Creative methods like embroidery will also be introduced, encouraging reuse and extending the life of textiles in a friendly, social setting.
