SEWING WORKSHOPS IN EDINBURGH

Remode Collective is an award-winning social enterprise based in Edinburgh. We're passionate about exploring ways to repurpose textiles locally, building new skills, and celebrating multicultural diversity.

At Remode, we offer a range of creative workshops, classes, community projects, and events, all centered around sewing and dressmaking. From beginner-friendly courses to advanced techniques, there's something for everyone to explore and learn.

In addition to our workshops, we actively collect leftover and unwanted textiles to produce handmade and unique items, promoting a sustainable and ethical use of resources.

STORIES FROM OUR COMMUNITY

“I thoroughly enjoyed the Quilting short course & learnt so much whilst having fun. I loved the small class size & relaxed atmosphere. Thanks for teaching me a new sewing skill & giving me confidence to try more quilting projects.

I absolutely loved learning with Monica. She’s very knowledgeable and patient and always gives good advice. I’m so thrilled to make my first pair of trousers at the end of the 4 weeks.

NICKIE, JUNE 2025

Fantastic class and learned so much in one session. I used a sewing machine for the very first time, and also a couple of hand sewing stitches to enable me to finally mend a bag. Can't wait to sign up for another session. Thank you!
