Stitch It Don’t Ditch It!

October 14 @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm

Want to learn how to sew? Or how to repair a loved outfit??

This is the workshop for you!

Stitch it, don’t Ditch it hands-on and for beginners to sewing.

Over the 6 weeks you will learn to use a sewing machine and make a heat bag, a shopping bag, upcycle tea towels into a cushion cover.

We will also show you how to do simple machine and hand repairs such as sew hems and seams, sew on buttons.

Discarded clothing sent to rubbish is a big waste disposal problem. Recycling of clothes and fabrics reduces waste, and reduces the carbon emissions from manufacturing new materials.

It’s a way that all of us can take part in tackling climate change.

Bookings $15 for the six sessions:
