Sustainable Sewing Series

Have a sewing machine but don’t know how to use it? Keen to reduce waste and learn practical skills in a friendly, community-focused space?

Join us for a 5-part Sustainable Sewing Series, proudly hosted by St George’s Community Share & Care, delivered by A Single Leaf South West and funded by the Plico Community Fund.

In these monthly hands-on sessions, you’ll learn to confidently use your own sewing machine while creating useful items from secondhand and repurposed materials.

Projects will include things like:
🛍 T-shirt tote bags
👖 Taking up pants
🪡 Japanese mending
🧘‍♀️ Yoga bolsters

Each session also includes a short sustainability talk, covering topics such as:

• What you can recycle for free at St George’s

• Local reuse & repair resources

• Food waste solutions and more!

Price:

Thanks to the incredible generosity of Plico and St George's Share & Care Program, the whole course is just $50 per participant.

Requirements:

You need to bring your own sewing machine to each class.

This is a class for adults, but children 14 or over may participate if accompanied by a participating adult.

Dates:

Sessions will be 2 hours, starting at midday (after the Dunsborough Community Repair CoOp) on the last Saturday of the month.

PLEASE NOTE: Your ticket will only have the first date on, but you will be signed up for the whole course - all 5 sessions.
