Upcoming workshops

Legacy Sewing Workshop

Thanks to Hobart City Council grant funding we are able to offer Legacy Sewing Workshops in Hobart, these are being offered in partnership with Wild Stitch.

These free workshops offer the opportunity to create something meaningful for someone you care about. Join one of our group legacy making classes and create a bag, quilt or item of clothing made from photographs, clothing, text, images, symbols, memories and more, with the guidance of Wild Stitch tutors. This is an opportunity to spend time with a loved one diagnosed with cancer or remember a loved one who has died.
