Have you got a favourite sweater that's starting to get holes? Perhaps you’re trying to save money on clothes and keep garments out of Landfill?

Well, this is the workshop for you!

In this workshop, you will learn the following:

  • How to create and hand-sew funky patches or pockets

  • Making holes into features

  • Reworking tired garments with new textile combinations or a bit of paint!
