Using a selection of second-hand materials, participants will learn how to transform fabric remnants into a funky handmade item or bag.

Amanda will guide you through simple sewing techniques and creative design ideas to help you craft a unique piece while giving new life to discarded textiles. Beginners are warmly welcome, and all skill levels can enjoy experimenting with colour, pattern and texture.

This workshop is part of a sustainable practices and creative reuse program that is inspired by Yarrila Arts and Museum’s current exhibition RELICS: A New World Rises.

Come stitch, design and discover how yesterday’s materials can become tomorrow’s treasures!
