Join Rachel for a group workshop where you'll learn the art of upcycling by turning a shirt into a fabulous pair of knickers!

The workshop starts with Rachel introducing herself and her eco-conscious brand, Buttress and Snatch, and sharing her journey into sustainable fashion. Then it's down to business: bring a shirt you're ready to reuse (although Rachel has extras if you need them) and she'll show you how to turn it into something completely new.

You'll start with measuring and efficient cutting techniques to get the most out of your fabric, followed by a quick introduction to elastic for that perfect fit. Rachel will show your group how to open up a garment to maximise its potential and demonstrate how to reshape it for a whole new purpose.

Once you're ready to sew, you'll learn three key stitching techniques: overlock, basic sewing and the all-important zigzag elastic stitch. In the end, you'll have created your own unique pair of knickers, complete with a pattern and extra elastic so you can recreate them at home.

Whether you're new to sewing or looking for a fun group activity, this workshop is a lively dive into sustainable fashion, with plenty of opportunities to continue the fun just around the corner!

Meet Buttress and Snatch

Underwear Designer

Meet Rachel, a celebrated lingerie designer based in Walthamstow, East London, whose creativity has been turning heads since the 90s.

Back when rave culture was in full swing, Rachel first started designing lingerie at university, inspired by the trend of wearing underwear as outerwear. This sparked her unique brand, Buttress and Snatch, which has been making waves ever since.

Rachel is deeply committed to sustainable, slow fashion, meticulously crafting each piece in a bespoke, zero-waste, one-size-fits-all process. She believes that fashion should be both joyful and personal - a philosophy that shines through in her work and in the connection she forges with each client. Her stunning designs can be found in high-end stores such as Annie's Ibiza, but her East London studio is where the magic really happens. It's a beautiful place of creativity where Rachel brings each bespoke piece to life.
