Slow Fashion Saves The Day!

About

This April, Love Saves the Day is turning Sparks into a slow fashion playground. 

The UK sends 300,000 tonnes of clothes to landfill each year, although 95% of garms sent to landfill could be re-worn or upcycled. Let’s say NO to fast fashion and create some dreamy festival looks that don’t cost the earth.

Got something ripped? Bored of those shorts? Hoarding pieces that aren’t your style? Perfect; come and swap it, stitch it, chop it or customise it. 

We’re keeping tickets as affordable as possible at £5. Tickets include access to all activities, workshops, the swap shop and DJs.

Drop-in workshops

  • Create patches from deadstock materials with Pack Rat Dressing Room 
  • Upcycle shoe laces from scrap fabric with Paper Tales
  • Make a scrunchie or headband with Ros
  • Create your own festival epaulettes with Rethrindle CIC & Rebel Patch
  • Beginner-friendly embroidery with Maria Craftart
  • Sashiko and darning mending with Pack Rat Dressing Room 
  • Swap shop - bring clothes to swap!

All drop-ins are beginner-friendly, with all levels welcomed
