Adapting Textiles: Making Old Clothes Glamorous

July 5, 2023 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm

Free

Cathie Sivinska McCartan will be talking about her studies and career path through the world of bespoke fashion.

She will show you how to take a resourceful slant on repurposing clothing, and the challenge of using up your scrap and treasured remnants to make something fabulous.

Cathie will also be giving a demonstration on making a personalized template bodice and how to create a pattern for a totally unique up-cycled garment!

(This event was previously advertised with a second speaker, due to talk about adapting clothes for ageing bodies, but unfortunately they’ve had to pull out.)

We are hoping to broadcast this event on Instagram Live.

Booking is not necessary but you can reserve a seat if you wish.
