Turn an old item of clothing into a winter warmer. You could turn an old pair of jeans or trousers into a draft excluder, using up old scraps of material and those odd socks that always seem to appear! Or turn an old jumper into a hat, scarf or gloves.

During this session, you’ll have the opportunity to explore different upcycling techniques and transform your old clothes or fabrics into unique and stylish pieces. Our expert instructors will guide you through the process, providing tips and tricks along the way.
