In this hands-on class, instructors from Reverse Garbage will guide you through this popular method of layering fabrics over one another, then stitching together in a patchwork style to create useful embroidered bags that are strong and very pleasing to the eye.
You'll be able to create your own colour scheme and unique artistic design to create a beautiful upcycled bag that you can use daily.
This is a clever way to upcycle old or worn fabrics or perhaps find a purpose for fabric offcuts. If you have any fabric offcuts you'd like to use feel free to bring them along otherwise they will also be provided.
You'll leave feeling creatively fulfilled and ready to practise the skills you've learnt to mend and upcycle any garments or fabrics you have.
Kantha is an ancient form of hand-stitch embroidery originating in India. The word kantha means 'rags' in Sanskrit, reflecting a tradition of using discarded clothing or garments to remake old cloth into bed coverings and other household items.
