f(re)e-form fashion at your fingers.
weft school ltd is a resource for sparking your own creative and sustainable textile + apparel projects.
What can you access through Weft School Ltd?
Think technical + mechanical resources for: creative mending, beading and embroidery, hand stitching leather, dyeing, knitting, crocheting, sewing, and more.
You (yes, you) can make a *real* t-shirt, up-cycled jeans, a whole sweater, out-of-this-world wall art, an 80's vibe sequined silk jacket, or even something that actually fits.
We encourage and celebrate reuse and upcycling, especially in a way to maintain the best possible recyclability of all materials used. Our "Maps and Directions" provide more information for responsible crafting.
