Add your own creative touch while learning simple stitching techniques from talented crafters\, and enjoy a mindful\, hands-on making experience. \nAlthough this is our second session of the project\, everyone is welcome – no prior attendance needed. \nThis is a welcoming space to connect\, create\, and be part of a shared story that will be proudly displayed at our EcoHub. \nWhat to bring/wear: \n\nFabric scraps or textile remnants (if you have some)\nComfortable clothing (we’ll be seated on mats or cushions – chairs also available)\nA plate to share for morning tea (optional)\n\nThis beginner workshop is suitable for ages 14+. \nThanks to funding from the Creative Communities Scheme.
