About Clothes & Toy Upcycling

Listed Under Workshops Events / Arts and Crafts Events / Easter Holiday Events / Family and Kids Events / Green Events

A fantastic way to unwind during the school holidays and to learn some basic sewing skills at the same time. We’ll be turning socks into toys, fabric into bags and purses (using old tents to add waterproof lining), jeans into storage buckets, button down shirts into furoshiki cloth wrapping, soft toys into hot water bottle covers, blankets or bags, t-shirts into yarn for crocheting, and much more besides!

All ages welcome. Hope to see you there!
