per persoonDe workshop in detail
Step into Rachel's creative studio and discover the magic of turning an old shirt into a stylish new pair of knickers. In this hands-on workshop, Rachel will guide you through every step of the process, sharing her passion for fashion that's both inventive and eco-friendly.
The session will start with an introduction to Rachel and her unique approach to sustainable design, followed by an overview of the project. Bring a shirt you'd like to repurpose (or choose from Rachel's collection of extras) and dive into the world of garment upcycling.
You'll start by learning how to measure and cut with precision to make the most of every inch of fabric and minimise waste. Rachel will then teach you the art of elastication, demonstrating how to open and reshape a garment with maximum efficiency.
Next, it's time to sew! You'll learn three essential sewing techniques - overlock, quilting and elastic zigzag - to give your new creation a professional finish. With instruction on both sewing and overlock machines, you'll master the skills needed to bring your design to life.
Finally, you'll take home the pattern and some extra elastic so you can continue creating your own sustainable fashion.

Ontmoet Rachel Kenyon
Underwear Designer
Meet Rachel, a celebrated lingerie designer based in Walthamstow, East London, whose creativity has been turning heads since the 90s. Back when rave culture was in full swing, Rachel first started designing lingerie at university, inspired by the trend of wearing underwear as outerwear. This sparked her unique brand, Buttress and Snatch, which has been making waves ever since.
Rachel is deeply committed to sustainable, slow fashion, meticulously crafting each piece in a bespoke, zero-waste, one-size-fits-all process. She believes that fashion should be both joyful and personal - a philosophy that shines through in her work and in the connection she forges with each client. Her stunning designs can be found in high-end stores such as Annie's Ibiza, but her East London studio is where the magic really happens. It's a beautiful place of creativity where Rachel brings each bespoke piece to life.
