With a spirit of adventure, join Barley Massey for a fun and social event in creatively transforming your own ‘waste’ textiles or clothing into something new and functional. We will be taking inspiration from Wendy Ward's book "Sewing Basics for Every Body" and using the "Felix Sweatshirt" pattern as our starting point. A loose fitting, casual top, an essential core garment for any handmade wardrobe!

Barley has been a professional "upcycler", championing creative textile reuse for over 25 years. She will share some of the techniques and tips from her own making practice and show you a collection of examples to inspire you and guide you through making your own version of the "zero waste sweatshirt".
