Bayside Roving Repair Recycled Sewing Workshop

Please join us for the second workshop, as part of Bayside City Council’s innovative new Roving Repair Program.

The program aims to empower our community to repair and reuse household items.

Bayside City Council is dedicated to reducing waste within our municipality by encouraging everyone to repair items instead of throwing them away.

Join us with Gail and her team at Hampton's Recycled Sewing Studio.

Sometimes we hold on to items of clothing or other fabric objects, because they mark a time in our lives. Sometimes we hold on to things because we’re sure they can be fixed - we just don’t know how or where. Sometimes we hold on to things because we’re hoping they will fit us again or come back into fashion!

Well, now is your chance to repair, repurpose or adjust those items, to give them a new life!

Gail and her team at the Recycled Sewing Studio will be on hand to help you and share with you some sewing skills.

Whether you’re totally new to sewing, in need of a refresh, or hoping to expand your existing skills, Gail and her team will be there to help.

Bring your washed garments and fabrics ready to be sewn. If you’re not sure what to do with an item you’ve held onto, then Gail and her team can share creative ideas to inspire you.

Bookings are essential. Please note bookings are for 30minute sessions with an expert repairer from the Recycled Sewing Studio. You are also welcome to attend simply to watch and learn.

This event is being coordinated by Let Me Be Frank, on behalf of Bayside City Council.

The program is made possible thanks to funding from Sustainability Victoria.

If you’re a keen mender you can register your interest here, and we may be able to help you share your skills!
