The Berlin adult education centre is offering a two-day workshop called 'Mend it and make it yours!' teaching participants to repair holes and tears by hand. Techniques covered include darning, sashiko stitching, sewing on buttons and hemming trousers. Attendees first practise the techniques, then apply them to their own garments, learning to wear clothes longer instead of buying new ones.

Why now: Growing interest in sustainable living and repairing clothes rather than discarding them
