In collaboration with VNTG Store in Leiden, I hosted a 4-evening Altering & Repair Workshop at the VNTG atelier. During these sessions, participants learned simple repair and alteration techniques while giving their most loved garments a second life.
What made it special were the stories behind the clothes. One participant had redesigned a jumpsuit from a friend into pants to keep wearing them. Another shared how her grandmother used to repair her clothes, and now living far from family, she finds mending both useful and calming.
In just four evenings, we saved around 15–20 garments from going to waste proving that repairing can be creative, mindful, and meaningful. 🧵✨
