Bring along a pair of trousers or jeans and a shirt or T-shirt you no longer wear, and learn how to upcycle them into a fabulous bag or purse. This workshop is perfect for those who know how to use a sewing machine, with two machines provided for your project. Enjoy a creative and sustainable crafting experience that turns waste into something beautiful.
This 4.5-hour workshop runs from 09:30 to 14:00 and is designed for all ages interested in sustainable fashion and sewing. You don't need to bring a sewing machine, but basic sewing skills are essential. Tea and coffee making facilities are available on site, and snacks will be provided. Please bring your own keep cup to support the EcoHub's plastic-free policy.
