Sewing and upcycling

Roskilde Festival Højskole

Whether you've never sat at a sewing machine before or have years of sewing experience, you're warmly welcome to spend the week sewing alongside others who share your enthusiasm.

Spend a week exploring upcycling, repairs and alterations while developing your skills and joining conversations about sustainable clothing, slow fashion, and the value of clothes that truly fit you.

Knap & Lap provides fabrics, thread, interfacing, zippers, and other sewing supplies. We'll also visit a local fabric shop, where you'll get a discount on fabrics and patterns, and hunt for second-hand gems in local thrift stores.

No sewing machine? No problem. Borrow one from Knap & Lap, with seven sewing machines, three overlock machines, and an embroidery machine.
