DIY // There are so many ways to add print and colour to plain clothes. Which have you tried? This shirt is getting a new lease of life with fabric paint and stencils - WIP.
INSPIRATION // As #BlackFriday approaches, it's a good time to reassess... Do you really need it? Does it work with the other stuff in your wardrobe? Do the colour and cut bring out the best in you? Will you get lots of wear out of it?
WORKSHOPS // Crossing our fingers that today's announcement will mean we can see you IRL again next month! đŸ€ž
CAMPAIGNS // We are joining @cleanclothescampaign and @labourbehindthelabel in virtual protest, calling for @Primark to #PayYourWorkers. While promises have been made, there is a lack of transparency around whether or not workers have received the pay they are owed (more info below 👇)
TUTORIALS // 'Tis the season...
INSPIRATION // đŸ€ž Absolutely head over HEELS for this awesome upcycle from @sewsewzoso_upcycle đŸ”„đŸ”„đŸ”„
TUTORIALS // This weeks video is here! đŸŽ„ Sarah takes you through a simple but lovely visible mend technique for patching holes in your jeans - or any garment.

NEWS // We're delighted to share the news that we've been selected as one of the three local causes to receive a share of the Co-op's Local Community Fund.
POPUP // While we can't invite you in IRL, sharing glimpses of the space here will have to do!
TUTORIALS // Friday = Video Guide day! đŸŽ„ This week Caitlin shows you a simple technique for revamping jeans with fraying hems.
