Stitch, Bitch & Sip: A Hands-On Workshop with Orsola de Castro at Her Peckham Café

Ready to give your wardrobe a new lease of life—and your perspective on fashion a refresh? Join us for a one-of-a-kind “Stitch n Bitch” workshop, hosted by the legendary Orsola de Castro in her cosy café in Peckham. This is your invitation to roll up your sleeves, thread a needle, and get real about the state of the fashion industry—all over a good cup of coffee and some even better conversation.

What’s on the Table?

This isn’t your average sewing circle. Orsola, co-founder of Fashion Revolution and a pioneer in sustainable fashion, will guide you through the practical skills you need to look after your clothes—think visible mending, clever stitching, and creative upcycling. Whether you’re a total beginner or a seasoned stitcher, you’ll leave with new tricks (and maybe a few new friends).

But it’s not just about the sewing. As you work, Orsola will share her candid, insider’s perspective on the fashion industry—what’s broken, what’s hopeful, and why caring for your clothes is an act of rebellion in a world of throwaway fashion. Expect laughter, honesty, and a healthy dose of “bitching” about the status quo.

Why This Matters to BRiMM

At BRiMM, we believe that every action—no matter how small—can be a catalyst for change. Our mission is to make Planet Positive Living accessible, inspirational, and joyful, and that means giving people the skills and confidence to cherish what they already own, not just buy new. Events like Stitch n Bitch are about more than learning to mend; they’re about building a community that values creativity over consumption and finds abundant joy in doing more with less. By connecting with pioneers like Orsola and each other, we’re rewriting the rules of how we wear, repair, and care—proving that style, sustainability, and self-expression can go hand in hand. Together, we’re stitching a brighter future, one thread at a time.

Spaces are limited—bring your favourite piece in need of TLC and join us for a night of skill-sharing, storytelling, and planet-positive  style.
