When the email announcing the second Make Do & Mend event popped into my inbox, it brightened my whole day. I think I literally squealed with delight!

With a vague Valentine’s theme this time around, it is a fantastic opportunity to buy second hand, vintage and have a go at knitting or sewing on vintage sewing machines – wow.

The ‘Clack & Yak-ers’ masterclass sounds like a real winner!

There is a lovely sleek cafe area, mountains of inspiring items from crockery, candles, jewellery, bags, clothes, and random findings galore that you just couldn’t get anywhere else.

I know where I will be this Saturday 5th February. My stall will feature handmade fabric necklaces – lace, tulle, satin – and an array of corsage brooches, some with ceramic heart centres. Expect some pristine, second hand Vogue magazines, vintage books, bag-making equipment and of course, the infamous vintage domino brooches.

Come along from 11am – 3pm, Platform, The Bridge, 1000 Westerhouse Road, Glasgow G34 9JW
