ABOUT HOOP HOOP HOORAY

Hoop Hoop Hooray was started by Elise as a hobby business over 7 years ago because of her love of embroidery and her want to share her passion with others. Due to the resurgence in mending as a response to the growing sustainability movement, she has been involved in facilitating Visible Mending workshops across Perth. Her aim is to normalise mending and build a community to inspire others, to save textiles going into landfill!
