The workshop in detail

  • Would you like to go further in your sewing training and learn how to use a serger? Sophie, Mathilde and their team welcome you to their beautiful workshop for a few hours to share their passion for eco-responsible fashion. 

    You will start by choosing your fabric from a nice selection in their eco-responsible haberdashery and then cutting out the different pieces needed to create your t-shirt. After explanations on the serger, how to use it and how to thread it, it's time to practice!

    Sophie, Mathilde and their team will obviously be at your side to guide you through each stage of creation in a pedagogical manner, but above all with passion.

    Seamstresses and embroiderers

    Mathilde and Sophie are both converts. Mathilde, a former lawyer, had already stopped practising law in order to start up a soup bar. As for Sophie, she had already launched her own bed linen brand.

    However, both being passionate about sewing and embroidery, they decided to set everything else aside in order to launch R-Use, an association that brings together a collective of artisans who are committed to upcycling. All of them want to contribute to altering our means of consumption, moving tend towards a more sustainable and responsible economy, while promoting upcycling.

    What they like most of all is to share their passion and to use this passion to raise awareness of ecology, through workshops.

    They will welcome you into their beautiful workshop, located in Ixelles - a lovely space with a coffee area, a large room for the fabric library, an inner courtyard, and a large room dedicated to workshops! Passionate, with a skill for teaching, each of the craftsmen who welcome you in will ensure a moment that will not be forgotten. Meet them!
