The perfect screen-free summer activity to get hands-on and learning new skills. All skill levels are welcome, from beginners to advanced, and all materials, sewing machines, and more are provided. You will learn how to hand-sew, thread and use a sewing machine, as well as developing an understanding of designing and making clothing (and more), using and adapting patterns, and upcycling already-existing garments.  

If you already know the basics of crochet, you are welcome to come and advance your crochet skills into the art of Amigurumi (making soft toys and plushies), as well as Made to Measure garment and accessory-making, such as bags, and more. Cross-textile art skills can also be learned when adding linings to crochet pieces, or blending sewing and crochet skills into one project. Students can choose if they would like to spend part, or all of the week crocheting, and will be encouraged to blend techniques as mentioned above.  

The week will start with a smaller starter project, to get into the groove of sewing, before one or two larger projects to push and learn further garment construction and sewing techniques.  

Sustainability Ethos:  
Stitch and Loop with Lily was founded with sustainability at the forefront: no scraps are wasted, pattern cutting and design are thought through to minimise textile waste, and students are encouraged to think about Fast Fashion, and what we can do to help the planet. Each day will feature a guided discussion giving students the opportunity to share their thoughts and ideas on topics related to sustainable, secondhand, and handmade fashion.  

About your Instructor:  
Lilyella, from Lilyella the Label, has been sewing for over 16 years, and crafting for even longer. She has fine-tuned her sewing skills at London Fashion Week, whilst studying Classics and Ancient Art at Durham University, created her own mixed-media and textile (crochet and sewing fusion) final collection titled ‘The Rebirth of Venus’. Her unique approach to blending sewing, crochet, and upcycling gives students a cross-curricular, and sustainable approach to fashion and design.
