Sydney’s North Shore residents are no strangers to recycling. The aspect of it that excites most of us, though, is ‘upcycling’.

Upcycling is rewarding. It’s green. It makes practical sense. And it’s creative.

Improving your skills and exploring the creativity and environmental friendliness of upcycling is what you will gain by booking your place in an upcoming workshop.

The workshop will present easy upcycling techniques to select old clothes and fabrics and transform them into wonderful new items such as bags, wall hangings, table settings, cushion covers and curtains.

An expert on giving pre-loved item a new lease of life is Julie Patterson, owner of Cloth Fabric, who will present the 3-hour workshop on Saturday 17 September 2011 in Glebe Cafe Church, 37 St John’s Road Glebe.

Julie will be giving workshop attendees the opportunity to recreate something fabulous from recycled fabric to take home with them. High level sewing skills are not needed, so don’t worry if sewing is not your forté.

The workshop is a free City of Sydney Green Village workshop.

You will need to RSVP online as places are strictly limited.
