About the practice
Founded by Susie Deadman, Sew Fabulous brings together sewing education, environmental awareness and community participation. Its Brighton Open Market studio has been its base since 2014, hosting regular classes, specialist workshops, children’s activities and creative parties. Its stated aim is to increase sewing skills and knowledge of sustainability and textile waste through affordable, accessible learning. Repair is a practical part of this mission. Weekly Friday drop-in sessions offer support with mending and altering clothing and household textiles. These sessions are free, with donations welcome, providing a route for people to extend the life of existing items while learning to do the work themselves. The organisation also takes its teaching beyond the studio, collaborating with schools, charities, local groups and larger organisations. Its documented outreach includes a Resource London project delivering textile-upcycling workshops across seven London boroughs to encourage clothing reuse and recycling. Sew Fabulous is a founding organisation within Brighton Fashion Collective and a co-producer of Brighton Slow Fashion Week, connecting its day-to-day teaching with wider local conversations about fashion and sustainability.
