In this captivating course, you'll learn how to develop your own unique dress sense and become a responsible designer, maker and consumer. Through practical, hands-on activities, you'll dive into the world of fashion and learn how to design and make clothes and accessories. But that's not all – we'll do it all while being mindful of our impacts on the environment.

We're incredibly fortunate to have the support of leading fashion brands, who have kindly donated their industry waste materials of the highest quality. This means you'll have the opportunity to experiment and create with materials that would have otherwise gone to waste.

Throughout the term, you will become familiar with the sewing machines, essential to clothing construction. We will also explore the art of mending, altering, and thrifting, giving new life to old garments. You will learn about the life cycle of clothes and become a socially conscious influencer, making informed choices about your fashion consumption.

The class will introduce you to new technologies aimed at reducing the impact of fashion on the environment. This exciting learning opportunity is perfect for students aged 8-18 who have a keen interest in fashion and a desire to unleash their creativity in a mindful way.

If you're working towards completing your Duke of Edinburgh "skills" (from age 12+ yrs), this workshop is an excellent choice. You will not only gain valuable fashion skills but can also continue with us for your "volunteering" (from age 14+ yrs).

If financial support is a concern for those attending state schools, please don't hesitate to approach us about a possible bursary place. We believe in making this experience accessible to all.

Plus, you'll have beautiful clothes and accessories to take home as a testament to your newfound fashion prowess. Don't miss out to learn and grow in a fun and inspiring environment.

Young THRIVE Club 

Sarah-Jane

This is a wonderful class for children who are passionate about sewing, design and to be a sustainable being in this world. Sewing classes for children are so hard to find in London and Little Hands is an absolute gem. My son aged 10 made his own jacket after just one term at Little Hands.

Fiona

Wonderful classes that teach proper sewing for my budding young clothes designer - a Marc Jacobs in the making …

Aisha

My daughter attended Astrid's classes and she loved it, a few years later I decided to follow suit and registered. I had never used a sewing machine before and here I am 6 weeks later with a completed wearable kimono style jacket and I absolutely love it. Signing up to the classes with Little Hands Design was the best decision I have made for investing into myself. Astrid's way of teaching allows for everyone else in the class to also help and share their own ways of learning. By my final class I was also able to help a fellow class mate and it was the best feeling! It was so much more than learning, it was growing, evolving and sharing amongst such a beautiful, dynamic and diverse group and a most wonderful teacher. I hope to continue on this exciting journey with Little Hands Design!

Elena

My daughter is new to sewing and I booked her for the Young THRIVE Club. Astrid was fantastic! We could not be more pleased and are looking forward to the next session of classes!

James

My son did the young thrive club and had the most amazing time. At 14, he's very interested in thew sustainable fashion design, and Astrid provided exactly the kind of class that we have been desperate to find. She is an incredible teacher, and James can't wait to return. 

Cecily 

My daughter did THRIVE club, she really enjoyed it.

We are a charity exploring with the next generation of designers, consumers and decision makers what sustainable fashion is and how to do it.
