After a break for half term last week, our Make and Mend participants have now moved on to making cushion covers. This lovely video has been made by one of our participants.

At Kundakala it is very common to make a garment for yourself and then a mini one for your daughter 💖.

Here is a recent graduate from our programme in Hackney who has made a set of aprons.

Our Make and Mend participants in Hackney have made these very attractive pouches. We are very pleased with their progress on the sewing machine and their deep enthusiasm to learn.
