Join us for a fun and creative kids' sewing workshop, where children (aged 8+) will learn how to repair and reimagine their favourite clothes! Attendees are invited to bring an item that’s stained, torn, or damaged, and with hands-on guidance, they'll discover how to fix it using simple hand-stitching techniques.
Led by Sarah from Sip and Sew, a trained primary school teacher, this workshop will spark creativity and help kids see the potential in items that might otherwise be thrown away.
The session will cover valuable skills, from sewing basics to imaginative design, while giving old clothes a new life. Your child will leave with a sense of accomplishment and a memorable experience filled with creativity and hands-on learning!
Parents can either drop their kids off or stay to join the fun. Suitable for ages 8+.
What’s included:
- all equipment and repair materials
- a light morning tea.
Please get your child to bring with them:
- an item of clothing that needs repairing or has a stain that needs to be covered.
No experience is needed!
