What do I bring?

All materials are supplied for this workshop at The ReDress Hub however if you have your own sewing machine you'd like to know how to use, please feel free to bring this along, with its instruction manual. If you don't have one, many are downloadable by doing an internet search.

Please note: we have some people bring in very old sewing machines and while we will try our best to get you working on these old machines, we are not sewing machine experts so we can't make any promises!

****

Where do I go?

We're excited to be able to run our workshops face-to-face in our beautifully designed space.

The ReDress Hub is located at:

Shop 6&7, Quadrant Plaza, 94 York St, Launceston, Tasmania.

You can find us just behind Toyworld :)

Super handy access to parking in the Care CarPark next door, with great cafes close by to fuel you up for all your workshop needs.
