So we told you we have some fun workshops coming up over the next few months. A great chance not only to come down and meet us, but to learn some crafty skills at the same time.  The first one is Denim up-cycling on Sunday 9th of September.

We will be at Maidenhead's Bandstand Marathon! We are so excited to be a part of this event, pop over to the Website to see Maidenhead's girls and guys currently adoring the front page!  'The Bandstand Marathon will see hundreds of events in bandstands and other open spaces happening across the UK.  Taking place on 9th September 2012 between 1pm – 5pm, this will be the largest Bandstand Marathon to date, a truly national event linking local communities and London 2012.'

We will be helping to keep you all busy whilst listening to a great line up of Music acts by taking your old denim and customising it to the max! Whether you want to jazz up a garment you have or use some of our old denims to make accessories, we will be there to help you create a denim wonder.

If you don't feel in a crafty mood...
