Creative Textiles - Turn unwanted clothes into beautiful creations

Textiles upcycling – update your clothes using simple embroidery/applique or corsages

Join us at the Blackfen Community library for a creative textiles workshop session! Whether you're a beginner or an experienced crafter, this in-person event is perfect for anyone looking to learn new skills and give old fabrics a new life.

Bring with you a few tops or jumpers that you have fallen out of love with. With a bit of crafting magic you can make them into something you want to wear again. You could even update a jumper to wear around Christmas time!

Our experienced tutor, Nicola Corrigan, will be on hand to guide you through some sewing techniques, offer creative advice and lend a hand where needed!

Don't miss out on this exciting opportunity to unleash your creativity and contribute to a more sustainable future. Grab your friends and join us for a memorable afternoon of upcycling and fun!

Pay a £5 deposit to secure your place and then you will receive £3.50 back on attendance at the session.

What to bring:

Three or so items such as an old jumper, top or shirt, any embellishments like buttons, special materials

What we will supply:

Needles, thread, cotton, sample fabric, pins and some extra bits and bobs!
