Construction: sew the ordinary into the extraordinary

The Test Site workshop multi-pass can be used on this workshop!

Sarah Whitehead, half of the ingenious duo, The Seamstresses, will lead you through an exploration of wild costume ideas, or how to create a fabulously quirky outfit. Using recycled clothing items (you can bring your own or source them here), decorating elements, scissors, needles thread and/or safety pins, come and create something unique. No SEWING EXPERIENCE necessary. There will be sewing machines available for those who may want to make alternations more permanent.
