Workshops
Preloved Studio
Our Stitch & Save Workshops invite the local community to learn traditional Sashiko and Boro Japanese embroidery to repair or embellish clothing that would otherwise end up in landfill.
The workshops are held in the beautiful Preloved Studio at Canons House where we design and produce our collection of sustainable, premium leisurewear.
People bring along an item of clothing, whether it’s a damaged sweatshirt they’d like to mend or a denim jacket that needs a refresh.
The class is taught different sewing techniques with expert guidance and tips provided by fashion designer and RE-RUNN founder Sakina O’Neill.
These skills are then used to create and attach a unique design, breathing new life into preloved clothing.
Our workshops not only teach ways to upcycle, but they also provide a space for slowing down, connecting with the community, and building a circular fashion movement.
Love Wimbledon
On Sunday 28th September we hosted not one, but two upcycling workshops at Wimbledon Quarter.
From patchwork letters to tassel bunting – your creativity, good vibes, and community spirit made the day something special.
We stitched. We snacked. We laughed. We made beautiful things out of what others might have thrown away. This is what RE-RUNN is all about.
Thank you to our partners Wimbledon Quarter and Love Wimbledon, and to everyone who showed up with open minds and nimble fingers.
CARAS
Back in July, we ran a very special workshop with CARAS – Community Action for Refugees and Asylum Seekers.
Each week, CARAS hosts creative sessions for families to come together, connect and share joyful moments — from dancing and art to workshops like ours. It was beautiful to be part of this space, bringing upcycling and embroidery into the mix. A moment of calm, creativity and community through thread and fabric.
Thank you to CARAS for the incredible work you do, and to everyone who joined us with such warmth and openness.
And thank you Wayne Ki for capturing the magic behind the camera.
Sewing and Sanctuary
RE-RUNN is proud to collaborate with Sewing & Sanctuary, a community initiative based in Tooting.
We host creative workshops where refugees can stitch and share in a safe and warm environment.
Each session provides the opportunity to breathe new life into pre-loved clothing and connect with the local community.
