Slow Fashion Sewing series by the ReDress Hub
June 5 - 26
This series of four workshops has been specially designed for adult beginners, to assist you on your circular clothing journey, so you can start to create your own handmade 'slow-fashion' clothes and contribute to the global circular clothing movement.
At The ReDress Hub, we're here to help you on your journey to be more 'circular' with your clothing choices, avoid or reduce the consumption of fast-fashion, and clothing and textile waste and just basically keep your clothes in use for longer. Having clothes that fit you properly, are made to last and from fabrics you enjoy wearing, are some key reasons why people do hang onto their clothes and can wear them for decades and not just weeks or even days.
The amazing Kirsty Mate will be your workshop facilitator, guiding you over the four days from how to choose fabric, read, mark, and cut out a pattern right through to constructing and finishing a garment for you to proudly wear at the end of the course.
Head to the Eventbrite listing for this event for more information.

Deloraine Walking Club
May - August
The Deloraine Walking Club was established in 1972 by Charles Crowden. Interested in exploring the local area, he gathered together a party of like minded individuals and the club was born.
Today we carry on this tradition and have a programme packed with activities. There is something scheduled for almost every weekend of the year, plus an occasional mid week outing.
Activities include day walks, overnight and extended walks, car camping trips and bike rides. There are also plenty of social get togethers.
We encourage interested prospective members to contact our membership officer who can provide you with further safety and programme information.
