Untied Workshops

10/07/2025

Hello lovely community! 👋 Things have been a little quieter here as we navigate the busy-ness of life.

We're not going anywhere! We're simply taking a moment to rethink our workshops and the best way forward. There are so many possibilities we’re excited about – from mending to sewing and other textile skills like quilting or embroidery.

Our core mission has always been about community – creating a space where we can connect, share skills and find belonging through textile work. Historically, these gatherings were so crucial for women, offering support and fostering identity, and we deeply crave that connection ourselves.

Thank you for your patience – we can’t wait to see where the future takes us, and we hope you stay with us! 🧵💚

Happy ! ♻️🌞

has organised this campaign to encourage us to slow down and rethink our shopping habits.

We have started a new cycle and it can act as a great motivator for taking up good habits... why not take .uk pledge to not buy new clothes in September?

Apart from buying this September and beyond, remember to do it also mindfully. We agree with and encourage you to first look at what you already own. Does anything require a little care? Have you noticed any moth-holes, tears or stubborn stains on your clothes?

Check out our useful guides and book your place for our embroidery workshop on the 25th of September on how to cover stains and customise your favourite garments.
