Want to learn how to sew? Or how to repair a loved outfit??
This is the workshop for you!
Stitch it, don’t Ditch it hands-on and for beginners to sewing.
Over the 6 weeks you will learn to use a sewing machine and make a heat bag, a shopping bag, upcycle tea towels into a cushion cover.
We will also show you how to do simple machine and hand repairs such as sew hems and seams, sew on buttons.
Discarded clothing sent to rubbish is a big waste disposal problem. Recycling of clothes and fabrics reduces waste, and reduces the carbon emissions from manufacturing new materials. It's a way that all of us can take part in tackling climate change.
These workshops are a joint project of Burwood Council and Climate Action Burwood Canada Bay (CABCB) funded by Burwood RSL through the ClubGRANTS program.
CABCB is a not-for-profit local volunteer community group advocating an evidence-based approach to climate change.Â
