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.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
