Climate Craic: Upcycling Clothes Workshop (Young People Session)

Upcycle your clothes!

Fast fashion fuels a throwaway culture that harms our planet. But what if we could turn the tide—one piece of clothing at a time? Join us for a hands-on workshop to explore the true cost of fast fashion and learn creative ways to repurpose old clothes and fabrics in unique, stylish pieces. In this workshop we will make scrunchies and tote bags!

Bring your friends and family and dive into activities like using a sewing machine to create scrunchies and tote bags, mini embroidery, painting, and simple hand stitching. No experience is needed. Just bring your clothes, which could do with a bit of TLC!

Hosted by Climate Craic, we’re dedicated to inspiring sustainable living through creative action. With the help of our local partners, you’ll leave with a new skill and a revitalised wardrobe. Whether you’re a DIY pro or a beginner, this workshop is for you. Let’s make sustainability stylish!
