FREE Make a unique gift & create your a reusable furoshiki fabric wrap

Join us in person for a fun and friendly creative workshop where you'll learn how to make a one-of-a-kind gift and craft:

• Your very own eco-friendly furoshiki fabric wrap. Perfect for wrapping presents in style while helping the planet.
• A textile bookmark/tree decoration reusing other materials.

Keep for yourself or give to someone special!

No experience needed, hand sewing only —just bring your creativity and have a great time!

All equipment will be provided but if you have any memory fabric like an old shirt or T-shirt that you would like to make into the furoshiki fabric feel free to bring this along. You can also bring any small embelishments like buttons or sequins and cotton from home.

This free event is aimed for Bexley residents to learn skills and promote reuse.

If you book onto this event and find you cannot make it please release your ticket so that someone else can take your spot. Drop-ins also welcome if there is space.

Please arrive at 1pm, where the session will start for everyone.
