WHAT TO EXPECT:

This two-hour workshop provides step-by-step guidance on sewing techniques, safe machine use, and fabric care, alongside insights into the environmental impact of textile production. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to finish a project from a previous course, you’ll gain practical skills, creative confidence, and a deeper understanding of sustainable fashion.
