Upcycled Gift Making workshop - Bowl Cosies

Make your Christmas more sustainable!

These Upcycle workshops across November and December will provide you with an array of unique handmade upcycled gifts for family and friends! Using reclaimed and recycled fabrics and haberdashery together with your skills, what could be a better present for those special people in your life!

No experience necessary! This short workshop is a great one for beginner machine sewists, as well as those more experienced.

You'll learn how to make one of Upcycle Newcastle's most popular products, a Bowl Cosy (or Plate Cosy). So useful between microwave and table (or couch!).

All materials are included in the booking fee. We have a huge range of discarded fabrics for you to choose from. And you can bring your own machine or use one of ours!

Our Workshops: All our classes and workshops are created using circular economy principles. This means we will be using many recycled and reclaimed fabrics and haberdashery items for our projects. We are deeply passionate about diverting textile waste from landfill and we do this through upcycling.
