Bring your favourite t-shirts or well-worn jeans that you just can't part with and learn how to give them a fresh, unique look. This session focuses on fun, creative ways to personalise your clothing using slashing, braiding, and making crazy patches. It's a fantastic way to breathe new life into your wardrobe while embracing sustainable fashion.
You'll enjoy a hands-on workshop that encourages creativity and resourcefulness, perfect for parents looking to inspire their children to think about sustainability in a fun way. This is a great opportunity to connect with others who share an interest in upcycling and eco-friendly living.
The workshop runs for two hours, providing ample time to experiment with different techniques and complete your personalised piece. All skill levels are welcome, from beginners to those with some crafting experience. Bring your own t-shirt or jeans to work on, and prepare to get a little messy as you explore new ways to customise your clothes.
Materials for patching and braiding will be provided, but feel free to bring any special fabrics or embellishments you'd like to incorporate. The session is designed to be interactive and supportive, with guidance from experienced facilitators.
