A BIG THANK YOU TO DEAF RAVE!

I would like to give a huge thank you to Troi Lee MBE Deaf Rave for inviting me to be part of such a fantastic event yesterday. And for giving me the opportunity to showcase both of my businesses Deaf Couture C.I.C. and Divine Couture London

I had such a fun day meeting so many wonderful Deaf adults and children, as well as connecting with other organisations and sharing what my businesses have to offer the wonderful Deaf community.

It was especially exciting to meet adults and children who showed such enthusiasm and interest in my sewing services, craft activities and sewing workshops! 🧵✂️ Seeing their excitement about learning new skills and getting creative really made my day!

I also had some lovely conversations with organisations interested in my craft and sewing workshops. I’m really looking forward to the possibility of working together in the future!

As demonstrated by the lovely Steven from Remark Remark! ! You’re never too old to learn new skills.

✨ Looking for creative workshops for your organisation, workplace or community group? I offer craft and sewing workshops designed to bring people together, inspire creativity and enjoy learning something new.

Please feel free to get in touch. I’d love to hear from you!

Thank you again, Deaf Rave, for such a wonderful experience. So many lovely people, smiles, conversations and new connections. I hope to see you all again soon! ❤️

❤️ A huge thank you to the City of London Corporation’s Upcycling Team, , for organising the Festival of Fixing last Saturday, 17th October, and for inviting me, Divine Couture London Ltd, to lead two hand-sewing workshops as part of this wonderful event!

The festival celebrated 10 years of International Repair Day, in collaboration with the and

We had a consistently full room throughout the day, with people mending their clothes, learning new stitches, creating beautiful fabric flower brooches, and even making their own embroidered art pieces.

It was such a full, busy and vibrant day! One of the loveliest things was seeing tables full of strangers coming together, sewing side by side, sharing stories, learning from one another and enjoying the simple pleasure of creating with their hands.

The creativity in the room was buzzing! ✨ I felt so happy seeing the smiles on people’s faces after repairing their beloved clothes or proudly showing off their artistic creations. These are the moments that make everything worthwhile.

P.S. Now you can understand why I have loved running community workshops for so many years! ❤️

Just look at the happiness and joy on everyone’s faces. People coming together, connecting through creativity, feeling welcome, and finding that sense of belonging almost like being at home.

Simply being with people, sharing these moments and feeling their energy makes me so happy. It reminds me that sewing is about so much more than needles, thread and fabric. It is about connection, creativity, community and bringing people together.

We are all one. We are all connected. We are all one love. ❤️🧵

Thank you again for having me. I hope to see you all again soon!

Until then, keep mending, keep creating and keep spreading the love! ♻️🪡

I’m very excited to share that Alina Koztepe, Divine Couture London I’ll be leading clothing repair and upcycling workshops at the Barbican Centre as part of the Festival of Fixing! 🧵✨

This is to celebrate 10 years of International Repair Day with a one-day festival of fixing, creative and practical workshops, a photography exhibition and a campaigning station. A collaboration between the Barbican Centre , City of London Corporation , and The Restart Project

On Saturday 17 October, I’ll be bringing creativity, sewing and repair together to show how we can give old clothes and fabric a new life rather than throwing them away.

I’ll be running two free workshops:

🧵 Repair with Flair | 10am–12pm
Learn simple ways to repair rips, holes and stains using hand sewing, embroidery and creative patches.

♻️ Rags to Riches | 1pm–3pm
Turn unwanted fabric scraps into something beautiful and useful from jewellery and accessories to creative home pieces.

This is about much more than sewing. It’s about repairing, reusing, being creative and changing the way we think about the things we already own.

I’m especially looking forward to meeting people who want to learn practical skills, experiment creatively and discover that something that looks “finished” can often have a whole new life.

📍 Barbican Centre, London
📅 Saturday 17 October 2026
🎟️ Free workshops — booking is recommended as spaces are limited.

If you’re interested in fashion, sustainability, making, repair, upcycling or simply learning something new, come and join us!

🧵 What a fantastic lunchtime at The Repair Studio last Wednesday 29 July 2026! ✂️🪡🧵

It was wonderful to see so many people picking up a needle and thread, learning new skills, and discovering the joy of repairing their clothes.

I was delighted to deliver this hand-stitching repair workshop through Divine Couture London Ltd, in collaboration with the City of London Corporation and their amazing Recycling Team and Culture Mile BID & Woolgate.

Participants learned simple mending techniques, repaired items from home, and gained the confidence to extend the life of their favourite clothes helping to reduce textile waste and keep garments out of landfill.

A huge thank you to the City of London Corporation and the Recycling Team and Culture Mile BID & Woolgate for organising this wonderful team-bonding workshop, providing refreshments and lunch, and making everyone feel welcome.

I would also like to thank all the friendly and helpful staff at Woolgate for preparing the room and supporting us on the day we really appreciate your help.

A special thank you to my wonderful team for their support. As I am deaf, I cannot do everything alone, and I truly appreciate their help in making this workshop a success. 🙏❤️

As a deaf business owner, inclusion is at the heart of what I do. Through my workshops, everyone is welcome whatever their background, ability, or experience level. I believe creativity, learning, and connection should be accessible to everyone.

✨ Looking for a unique lunchtime, after-work, or team-building workshop for your organisation?

Through Divine Couture London Ltd and Deaf Couture C.I.C., I deliver creative sewing, repair, and craft workshops that help teams bond, reduce stress, support wellbeing, and learn valuable skills while promoting sustainability.

Please get in touch to bring a Hand Sewing Repair Studio workshop to your workplace or community.

It is with a heavy heart that I will be leaving my workshop at Theatre Deli.

As Theatre Deli’s lease at 107 Leadenhall Street has been extended several times but is now coming to an end, with the final day set for 13 June 2026, this is the reason I am moving.

I start packing from today, but I still have one more week left in the workshop before I move on. While I hope to find a new studio space soon, I will be unable to teach or take on alteration work for the remainder of June.

If you currently have a project with me, please don’t worry I will complete all existing work before I move. I simply won’t be taking on any new commissions until July.

Watch this space for workshops later in 2026, and I will, of course, keep you updated once I’m settled and ready to resume alterations and classes.

Thank you all for your support, encouragement, and custom over the years.

I will be back.🙏

This is why I Iove my work by seeing, feeling and giving little happiness to someone is so beautiful moment I cherish with everyone!
