WORKSHOP SESSIONS:
Let your imagination run wild and create a mood board of inspiration and ideas, considering a range of materials and techniques to work towards making your dream outfit that is beyond your wildest dreams! You will learn and practice a range of sewing and crafting techniques in a friendly space with experienced workshop leaders who will be on hand to support and guide you through the process and help you to develop your ideas and sewing skills. We will provide all the equipment and materials needed, and you can also bring in your own materials such as favourite items of clothing that need a breath of new life. The workshops will bring people together to enjoy being creative, and are open to the most novice of sewers, those with no experience at all and more experienced designers.
