Penneys to launch sewing classes in Waterford

If you would like to sew, sewing masterclasses classes are set to come to Penneys in Waterford.

The hour long workshops are in a bid to make the fast fashion brand more sustainable, according to the Irish Independent.

Customers can bring their own clothes and learn basic techniques like how to replace a button or bring up a hem.

The courses will begin in April in Liffey Valley and then extend to Tallaght, Galway, Waterford, Limerick and Cork.

Customers can bring along their own clothes and learn basic hand-sewing mending techniques, including how to replace a button, sew up a hem, take things in or fix a zip.

The one-hour classes will be hosted by Orla Kelly, an art-textile graduate from the National College of Art and Design (NCAD).

Places can be booked at primark.com or through the Penneys Facebook page. People are advised to book about three weeks in advance and attendees will get a sewing pack as well as a booklet about repairs.
