More spaces available! Slow Stitched Purse Workshop

Franklin Arts Centre from Franklin Arts Centre

Slow Stitched Purse Workshop
Saturday 2 December
9.30am - 2.30pm

Cost $5 payable at Franklin Arts Centre

Bring cotton fabric from your worn out garments – it’s a great way to use the fabric from old favourites that you just can’t part with. Mix and match with fabrics that others bring, to create a beautiful purse to gift for Christmas or to keep.
Alternatively, bring your worn out garments and mend them with decorative fabrics and stitching.

Oreen will bring a selection of materials from her stash, but participants are invited to bring worn out cotton garments to cut up, or scraps of cotton fabrics, and thread if you have it.

Oreen Lingaiyya is an experienced tutor who loves to share her passion for upcycling textiles and teach others about responsible use and management of textile resources.

BYO lunch or purchase lunch from the onsite café.

Suitable for teens and adults

Places are limited. Booking is essential.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
