Hannah is passionate about making the world of handcrafted clothing more accessible to everyone. These sessions will focus on upcycling and mending clothes we already have in our wardrobe. Joining together to share self empowering skills (and tools!) as a form of mindfulness and connecting to community and our natural environment! Hello! My name is Hannah Louisa Geraghty and I am a freelance handcraft tailor with nearly three decades experience working in the creative industries. My true passion is to make the world of handcrafted clothing more accessible to everyone. Im excited to announce Im going to be hosting a handcraft space at Pupukea Boy Scout camp. Iʻm looking forward to sharing self-empowering sewing skills to help support and inspire a more sustainable lifestyle! I’ll be sharing ways to mend, alter and customise the clothes you already have in your wardrobe. This will be on Tuesdays once a week for the month of May and open to guys and gals, keiki, teens and full-growns! I will bring sewing machines, tools, threads and scrap fabrics to share and would be thrilled if people have their own to bring too! Id like to open the space for people to come and make and create in anyway they like (within the world of textiles and clothes) either working on their own projects and needing some expert guidance, watching my demos on how to mend then practising together, sharing ideas on how to alter a garment to fit better and/or changing an item you don’t wear much because a stain or hole needs covering! This is in celebration of Earth day (22nd April) and Fashion Revolution Week (22nd-29th April) encouraging us to gather together more often to sew – loved clothes last longer and that’s how we can reduce mass consumption, mass manufacture, waste and unethical labour! Please join us – this is important, good work for our community, environment and collective mindset. Also, special treat – ill be offering a Tailoring service to the community during this time! Currently on hiatus from working IATSE union production work, im in a position to offer this at a reduced rate for this limited time only. The space will enable a mending drop- off spot for our community! - 12:30pm - mending drop off (from home schools parents) - 1-2pm - kids sewing lesson/demo (on ongoing project ie/ hula skirt or bag (including da boys!) - 2-3pm - adult/advanced wardrobe fix/mend/alteration demo (while thier kids are in ukelele class....kids from 1pm can stay on) - 3-4pm - freestyle time, working on projects with hannah floating/supervising.
