Sustainable sewing workshops for businesses
With many companies investing in their green side the idea of sustainable sewing workshops are becoming more popular. I’m passionate about sustainability so this is a core element in all my corporate sewing workshops. Whether it’s an upcycle sewing project, organic and recycled fabric, or just making the most of fabric scraps, there’s always a sustainable element to my workshops.
Sewing workshops for workplace wellbeing
Workplace wellbeing and employee mental health have a huge impact on how well businesses perform. Sewing workshop are a fantastic way to support staff wellbeing in the workplace while developing practical problem solving skills.
The sense of achievement that sewing brings is great for promoting positive mental health. It’s also a brilliant group activity which brings teams together and stimulates conversation in a relaxed environment. I’ve had some brilliant feedback from teams on our sewing workshops for workplace wellbeing. Get in touch to learn how your team can benefit and close the gap between work, health and wellbeing.
Corporate sustainability sewing workshop case studies
Recently I delivered sewing workshops to two large companies with a focus on sustainability and mindfulness. Both workshops were built based on the needs and requirements of the organisation so that they everyone got exactly what they needed from the day.
Pepsi R&D sustainable sewing workshop
“It’s really useful to know I can make repairs and alter my clothes without needing to buy a lot of equipment.”
Pepsi got in touch to request a sewing workshop for their employees. They were looking for a focus on mending and altering clothing by hand.
I created a bespoke workshop created for them following their brief, focusing on different hand stitches and where and when they would be used.
Over the course of the half-day workshop, we looked a practical applications for every day repairs and alterations that could be done with minimal amount of specialist equipment.
Every workshop participant received a mini sewing kits and full step by step guides for all the skills we learnt on the day.
I had some great feedback from all the team at Pepsi. As you can see from the happy faces on the photos we had a brilliant day.
Hastings insurance sewing workshop for workplace wellbeing
“I haven’t tried sewing since primary school as I was told I wasn’t very good, this has boosted my confidence to have another go.”
Hastings had organised a whole day around sustainability and workplace wellbeing. They hosted a sustainable clothing focus day including opportunities to swap clothes and buy fair trade items.
I took part in this event by running a mindful sewing workshop. In the workshop we made flowers from scrap fabrics. It was a really relaxing activity and everyone left with their own flower and a smile.
