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 Strathfield Canada Bay (CABSCB) funded by Burwood RSL through the ClubGRANTS program. CABSCB is a not-for-profit local volunteer community group advocating an evidence-based approach to climate change. Enquiries about this event to [email protected]
