Making sustainable flower fashion - Thursday Sessions
We are going to have four enjoyable evening together making sustainable fabric flowers with waste fabrics in these workshops. Some of the waste fabrics will be provided and you are welcome to bring and use your collected waste fabrics. Please bring along your pair of scissors and needles if you have. Don’t worry if you haven’t , we have some pairs of scissors for you to use during the workshop.
We plan to have different sizes of these fabric flowers and all these made fabric flowers will be collected together and assembled together to create an exhibit at the Manchester Flower Show in June 2022 to promote the coming 2024 Manchester International Fashion Festival.
Please note that this activity is running on Tuesday and Thursdays, but you only need to attend one of these days. If you would prefer to attend on Tuesdays the listing is here.
