🌿 Sustainable Sundays – Sewing Workshops

Have you ever wanted to learn how to sew? Come along and have some fun and learn some new skills!

No experience necessary.

Join us for Sustainable Sundays, a series of creative sewing workshops designed to give old textiles new life. Each workshop explores practical, stylish, and mindful ways to sew more sustainably – from replacing disposable products to transforming forgotten fabrics into something fresh and useful.

You don’t need any sewing experience – just bring your curiosity.

Sustainable Sundays are about more than just sewing – they’re about slowing down, connecting with community, and discovering the joy of making with intention.

Workshop Details:

Ditch the Disposable- Sunday, 12th October

Swap throwaway items for beautiful, reusable alternatives. In this workshop, you’ll sew:

• Soft, washable face wipes with a matching drawstring bag
• A shower pouf made to last
• Reusable pads you can use again and again

A perfect introduction to sustainable sewing that makes a big difference in your daily routine.

 Second Life Sarongs- Sunday, 26th October

Turn a preloved sarong into a breezy, kimono-style beach cover-up. Simple, stylish, and lightweight – this project is as fun to make as it is to wear. You’ll never look at a forgotten sarong the same way again!

Deconstructed Denim- Sunday, 9th November

Give old jeans a brand-new purpose. In this workshop, you’ll cut, piece, and stitch preloved denim into smaller projects – think pouches, coasters, fabric baskets, or bags. Strong, versatile, and endlessly creative, denim is perfect for upcycling. Learn how to break down a pair of jeans to minimise waste.

Remaking Silhouettes- Sunday, 23rd November

Refresh your wardrobe with a little creative re-shaping! Learn how to:

• Flip a tee into a new style
• Crop a hoodie
• Transform a towel into beach shorts
• Turn a dress into a skirt

Quick, creative fashion hacks that breathe new life into old clothes.

Slow Stitching- Sunday, 7th December

Take it slow with mindful hand-sewing techniques. Discover the beauty of:

• Sashiko (decorative Japanese stitching)
• Boro (layered patching)
