In this fun beginners workshop, take a quick dive into the trend of upcycling to help reuse and repurpose existing garments with Jackie from @zola.remade
Bring an old oversize or men's size shirt either from your own wardrobe or a charity shop and create a one-of-a-kind, sustainable top. We wil also have a range of shirts for you to use if you aren't able to bring one along.
Use a sewing machine to add gathers, elastic and decorative ribbons to make your own individual shirt. There are two designs to choose from on the workshop, or add decorative embellishments to create your own style.
Suitable for beginners and more experienced sewers.
For best effect, if using gathers, a lighter weight shirt is best to bring along.
All materials are included.
Tea, coffee and biscuits are included.
This workshop also makes a great gift, just print off the ticket after purchasing and pop it in a card!
