Meet Make Mend Falmouth

A monthly social where everyone is welcome and we all get through our mending pile

"Repairing is so much more fun to do with others"

I run a monthly drop in workshop Meet Make Mend Falmouth that meets on the last Thursday of the month inside the beautiful shop Stitches and Cream. The evening runs from 7pm - 9pm and is a great place to bring some of the garments you may have put aside to one day repair. Well, now you have no excuse! I am on hand to offer advice but won't be able to dedicate as much attention as on a dedicated workshop or 1-1 session.

Here are the dates for the upcoming 2025 meet ups:

April 24th

May 29th

June 26th

July 31st

There are more and more social repair groups popping up around the country - so even if you are not local to Falmouth but like the idea keep a look out or set one up yourself! Get in touch if you need advice. laura@threadpegs.com

I was kindly allowed to use the Meet Make Mend name with permission from the Bristol Textile Quarter who run monthly repair workshops with the same name in Bristol.

Upcoming workshops

Introduction to Darning
Date: 26th April 2025
Time: from 1pm - 3pm
Cost: £30
Location: Stitches and Cream

What's included: All materials provided.

Learn to darn your knitwear. Have your woollens been attacked by moths? Or has your favourite jumper been worn out? Come along to learn how to confidently repair your own garments. If you want to try visible colourful mends or make your repairs as invisible as possible I'll be guiding you through each step to help you achieve the repairs.

Who is it for? Perfect for complete beginners!

Feel free to bring a woollen garment that needs mending if you have one, but this is not essential.

A deep dive into knitwear repair

If you would like to spend a bit more time getting to grips with darning and would like me to teach you different darning styles then feel free to get in touch. 

I offer these darning lessons at my home in Falmouth, Cornwall or I am able to come to you with all my repairing supplies (within 20 miles of the Falmouth area).

Hire me to run a workshop

I run workshops at events, conferences or within companies. A great activity to get people talking about sustainability within our own lives and what clothing means to us. My sessions can run from anywhere between 1 hr and a full day.

Let me repair your clothes

Keep clothes going for longer with my repair service

I take on all sorts of repairs, mostly knitwear, denim repairs and zips but that doesn't mean I won't be able to take on your repairs. I am always happy to give you a quote or pass you on to someone else that may be able to help. I have my repair workshop set up at home in Falmouth. Get in touch if you would like more information:
