sewing class reviews

"My daughter Charlotte absolutely loved the sewing class she attended! Bex was phenomenal – incredibly patient, enthusiastic, and genuinely passionate about teaching. She went above and beyond, generously sharing her time, tips, and advice in a way that made the sessions not only educational but also inspiring. The value for money was outstanding, but even more valuable was the positive impact Bex had on Charlotte’s confidence and motivation. We’re so grateful for this experience – highly recommend to anyone considering it!" - Benedicte M

"I loved the clothes upcycling workshop. I went straight home and started overhauling my wardrobe.  I now have a pile of clothes that I have started altering to fit me properly and an upcycling pile that I will refashion to suit my style. By the end, I should have a brand new wardrobe of clothes without having spent a cent!  Thanks Bex.  You’re a true inspiration." - Leanne

"Thoroughly enjoyed my sewing lesson with Bec. What I learnt was how to use a skirt pattern and cut it out. Great to go along and be part of a group or one on one." - Karen M.

About me... 

I've been living a sustainable lifestyle for many years - shopping second-hand, borrowing, and "under-consuming" wherever possible. My home is furnished entirely with pre-loved finds, and I mend or repurpose things before replacing them.

I haven't bought new clothes in years (except undergarments), yet my wardrobe is overflowing thanks to my thrift shopping obsession! I believe small changes, like reducing fast fashion consumption, can significantly impact our planet. Together we can make a difference! 

I founded Second Life Upcycling to share my passion through clothes upcycling workshops, sewing classes, thrift shopping excursions, and sustainability sessions—helping others rethink, reuse, and repurpose.

In addition to public classes, I also run sustainability workshops and offer speaking services for businesses, councils, and community events, bringing clothing and fashion sustainability into the workplace and beyond.

I hope to see you at one of my workshops soon.
