Fabrications Fashion Hackathon

Fashion Revolution is a global movement calling for greater transparency, sustainability and ethics in the fashion industry. We want to unite the fashion industry and ignite a revolution to radically change the way our clothes are sourced, produced and purchased, so that what the world wears has been made in a safe, clean and fair way.

What is a Fashion Hackathon?

The Fabrications studio aka 'The Imaginerium' will be transformed into a sustainable sewing factory, where old unloved clothes enter, undergo some reconstructive surgery and receive a new lease of life or a creative make over! This is an opportunity to chanel your inspirations, think high fashion as we will be offering PRIZES for the best Refashions on the day!

Competition categories : ( * SPONSORED BY BROTHER  SEWING MACHINES* )

Do I need to bring anything?

YES! Your Ideas! Your Designs! Your Creativity! Your old clothes or vintage, charity shop finds to work with. Fabrications will privide a trove of inspirational reclaimed trims, haberdashery, fabric / lace offcuts and patches you can incorporate into your designs. As well as sewing & embroidery machines, dress makers dummies, scissors, threads, pins etc.There will also be lots of examples of clothes that have already undergone transformations in some way to inspire you!

How much experience do I need?

All levels of makers are welcome with basic sewing skills, from ages 12+

If you want to use a sewing machine to realise your design -  basic understanding of using a sewing machine is advised. Fabrications' in house designer maker Barley Massey will be on hand to advise and guide you.
