What you'll do
In this fun and creative sewing workshop in Fairfield, you'll learn how to transform your old clothing into something new and fabulous. Upcycling clothing is both sustainable and fun plus it saves you money!
You'll have the opportunity to work with a wide range of materials, such as quality secondhand items, buckles and straps and learn techniques for transforming these items into unique pieces that you can proudly wear.
Never used a sewing machine? Don't worry, this is the perfect introduction to making your own clothing with expert guidance. You'll find that making clothing is easier than you think, and you'll learn the joy of breathing new life into something that was once considered waste.
All sewing machines, tools, and fabric are provided, and the best part? You get to take your creations home at the end of the workshop, showcasing your newfound creativity and sustainability.
Join us on this transformative workshop where you'll be inspired to never look at your old clothing in the same way.

Your teacher
I’m Erica, a fashion designer who loves ripping up old clothing & re-making them into fabulous new pieces.
I’m inspired by the transformation, of something old into something truly unique & special.
Up-cycling is about breaking the rules, It’s about experimenting, learning to look at things differently, it’s about making the most of the resources we have all around us.
I am professionally trained in fashion design & first began sewing at 3yrs old. Making my own clothes has always helped me feel unique and original and is an empowering form of creativity to teach.
Creating from second-hand clothing is so much easier than people realize, and I love watching people loose themselves in the creative process.
We are surrounded by an abundance of clothing making the up-cycling possibilities endless.
Come and begin your journey with up-cycling, it’s good for the environment and you’ll never look at your old clothing in the same way.
