Eco-Fashion Kids Workshops in Leytonstone
We’re thrilled to announce that We Make Kids Club is now officially in residence at Good Shepherd Studios in Leytonstone! Starting May 2025, our eco-fashion workshops will take place every Saturday morning (term time) from 10:30 to 12:00, bringing creativity, sustainability, and hands-on fun to local families.
These sessions are all about empowering children aged 5-11+ to make their own clothes and accessories using second-hand materials, forgotten wardrobe treasures, and their brilliant imaginations. Think old t-shirts turned into trendy new tops or bags, jeans jazzed up with patches or beads, and one-of-a-kind fashion accessories made from scrap fabric!
Note: children under 7 will require an adult to stay throughout the session. Siblings (of children with a paid ticket) aged 3-4 year old are welcome to stay for free and try some activities.
👕 Make it. Wear it. Love it. We believe fashion can be both fun and sustainable. Through each workshop, children learn practical skills like:
- Hand sewing
- Fabric printing & painting
- Creative embellishing with patches, ties, beads and more
Our approach is accessible, child-led, and packed with creative freedom. The workshops are designed for children aged 5+, but little eco-makers under 7 are welcome with adult supervision throughout the session.
Whether your child is a budding designer or just loves to create, these workshops are a great way to learn useful skills, build confidence, and connect with the world of sustainable fashion.
