Wildventure: Sew & Sip Evening - Boomerang Bags Workshop

🧵 Wildventure's Sew & Sip: Boomerang Bags Evening 🥂

Join us for a fun, creative, and social "Sew & Sip" evening! It's the perfect chance to get together, enjoy a chat, and learn new skills to tackle waste-related problems. We'll show you how to create your own Boomerang Bag while discussing simple sustainability solutions you can weave into your everyday life.

This is a totally beginner-friendly workshop. We welcome all sorts, from crafty, experienced people to those who've never even touched a sewing machine. Come along, learn a new skill, and connect with your community. At the end of the evening, you can bring home your own Boomerang Bag or kindly donate it to our Wildventure group to help raise funds for our future events (like campouts, bushcare, and tree planting).

We'd love to have you, and feel free to bring a friend along!
