SUMMARY:Back to Grandma's (old shirt\, new story)
DESCRIPTION:Back to Grandma’s (even if she’s not actually yours) A Saturday afternoon to slow down. You don’t really feel allowed to stop. So we made a place where you can. Hosted by a group of Portuguese grandmothers from A Avó Veio Trabalhar. This September\, they'll be teaching us one of their favourite skills: Giving an old shirt a new life. Bring a plain shirt you've stopped wearing. Together\, we'll transform it slowly with traditional embroidery techniques\, one stitch at a time. Not to make it perfect\, just to make it yours again. Along the way\, expect homemade cake\, tea\, plenty of unsolicited grandma wisdom and a few hours where nobody expects you to be productive. A Manual Break\, granny approved. Limited spots. What this Saturday will look like: A warm welcome at the door: tea\, biscuits and a familiar question: “Have you eaten?” A short introduction to A Avó Veio Trabalhar and the grandmothers hosting the afternoon An upcycling embroidery workshop Bring a plain shirt (non-stretch fabric works best) and learn how to give it a second life using simple embroidery techniques inspired by traditional Portuguese know-how. No previous experience required. Homemade cake\, tea and small Portuguese comforts throughout the afternoon. Time to stay\, chat\, embroider or simply enjoy a slower pace. Moments of care\, conversation and grandma wisdom. Leave with a shirt that's become a little more yours and\, hopefully\, a small reminder that you're allowed to stop. Good to know • No embroidery experience needed. • No Portuguese required. We begin in English and then let grandma love language do the rest. • Please bring one plain shirt (preferably woven rather than stretchy). We'll provide everything else. • Suitable for complete beginners. Follow us on: https://www.instagram.com/themanualbreak www.themanualbreak.com
