2 hours Class size 1 to 8 guests       $39

In this creative "Turn a T-shirt into a Dress" class, you’ll learn no-sew upcycle techniques to create a cool, wearable dress that you can take home. You’ll explore how to transform preloved or unwanted T-shirts into something unique, practical, and full of personality, with no previous experience required.
Located at the beautiful heritage Old Police Headquarters in Daylesford, this relaxed workshop is designed to help you feel comfortable as you learn. You’ll be guided through each activity step by step, so you can discover how to work with fabric using simple techniques rather than a sewing machine or complicated equipment. You’ll learn how to:
  • Make twine from T-shirts
  • Weave with T-shirt twine
  • Use cutting and tying techniques
  • Explore fabric drawing and painting
  • Add embellishment to personalise your dress
All materials are supplied, including T-shirts, so you can get started straight away. You’re also welcome to bring your own T-shirts if you’d like to work with particular colours, patterns, or garments that already have meaning to you.
As you learn, you’ll experiment with texture, colour, and shape, creating a fun and supportive experience where there is no pressure to be perfect. This hands-on activity gives you the freedom to try new ideas, make changes as you go, and enjoy the process of turning everyday materials into something wearable.

Through my workshops, I love showing people how everyday scrap materials can be transformed into something beautiful, practical and meaningful. My goal is to help you see waste differently and feel confident working with your hands.
I’ve facilitated workshops in the not-for-profit sector with women from multicultural backgrounds and secured funding to run community programs focused on creative reuse. One of the most rewarding parts of my work is watching people who say “I’m not creative” completely surprise themselves.
Sustainable living isn’t just something I teach — it’s how I live. I’m passionate about conservation and protecting native wildlife and I believe mindful making is one small but powerful way we can care for our environment.
Come ready to experiment, get a little messy and discover your creative side.
