A very wet and miserable Friday afternoon proved the perfect excuse to hide out in our Small Hall and get sewing! The Draught Excluder Workshop on 1 March 2024 was a free community event facilitated by Traid in partnership with the London Borough of Haringey.
Participants learnt how to sew their own draught excluder with Traid using re-using second-hand fabrics and textiles to help keep the heat in. (Yes, a trouser leg makes a perfect, chunky ‘door sausage’ to keep out those chilly draughts!)
We hope to this is the first of many such workshops… TRAID offers repair cafes and clothes mending sessions—let us know if that’s something you’d like to see at Hornsey Vale?
Hornsey Vale is also a Traid collection point: read more about what you can donate here!
