Discover the art of clothing upcycling in these hands-on workshops designed for young people aged 12 and above, as well as adults. You'll learn how to breathe new life into thrifted finds and worn garments, creating amazing custom items that reflect your personal style.
These sessions are perfect for anyone interested in sustainable fashion, sewing basics, and creative repair techniques. Whether you're a beginner or have some experience, you'll leave with practical skills and inspiration.
Join Mikaela from Adelaide Cosplay Club as she guides you through fabric reclamation, pattern making, and clothing repair, helping you reduce waste and embrace eco-friendly fashion.
The workshops are split into two sessions: the first covers upcycling basics including fabric reclamation and sewing skills, while the second focuses on using reclaimed fabrics to create new clothing and repairing worn items.
You can attend either or both sessions independently; attendance at the first session is not required to join the second. The July session runs from 14:00 to 16:00 on Tuesday, July 7.
