RESTORATION LONDON is an independent organisation that encourages sustainable thinking within the clothing industry.

Our focus is on reusing, recycling and upcycling existing garments.

We hold workshops around London where participants meet to mend their favourite items of clothing instead of disposing of them at landfill.

Our workshops aim to introduce ways of mending clothing through various textile methods in order to fix, deconstruct or customise to revive much loved pieces.

We are now also running online workshops too! Check out our website to see what we have to offer!

To join us for the Sashiko & Boro Patchwork Cushion Cover Workshop you will need the following:
