LITTLE FIXERS

Together, parents and children will design and create unique costumes that reflect personality, imagination, and creativity. All while learning valuable sewing and making skills.

We’ll be working with reused and natural materials, encouraging children to develop practical skills while challenging throwaway culture. If you have old fabrics, accessories, or items you’d like to upcycle, please bring them along. These sessions are not just about crafting costumes: they’re about building confidence, fine motor skills, and shared proud moments between parents and children.

Session breakdown - starts from the 3rd October

1st Session: Planning & Accessories

Begin by dreaming up your costume: colours, style, and magical details. Together we’ll create the first attribute of your character, such as a broom, wizard stick, or wand. Don’t forget to bring a black t-shirt to start accessorising!

2nd Session: Magic Shoes

A good costume starts from the ground up! In this session, you’ll design and make custom shoe covers to transform everyday shoes into the perfect finishing touch for your character.

3rd Session: Hats On!

No witch, wizard, or sorcerer is complete without a fabulous hat. This challenging but exciting workshop introduces children to sewing and pattern-making while crafting a hat that shows off their style.

4th Session: Cape & Catwalk

In our grand finale, we’ll create flowing capes fit for magical beings. Once finished, we’ll celebrate with a Halloween catwalk and photoshoot in our autumn garden. Costumes ready just in time for spooky season!
