Get ready to have some fun discovering the world of slow stitching.
Let's get cosy and creative!
You'll receive a fabric pack recycled canvas bag (new) to start - including a sashiko needle and embroidery thread to take home.
Your host, Kara Cooper of Mount Vic and Me will take you step by step on how to piece together a fun bag using vintage fabrics and trims. You can go simply with less detail or cover your bag in a kaleidoscope of colour!
The magic of this style of stitching is that it's a slow, meditaitive process. It's not about perfection but the enjoyment of stitching. Learn how to piece your fabrics together to create colour and pattern.
You won't be finished at the end of the workshop. We'll build base and layer up fabrics then start some kantha stitching. You'll then continue at your own pace. Use your bag to sew your fabric pieces while you work on your project.
We'll have additional upcycled and vintage embellishments available if you'd like to purchase more fabrics to add to your bowl or for your next project.

Refreshments:
I'll have tea and instant coffee available. We have lovely cafés on Station St if you'd like to grab a decent coffee and snack beforehand. It's a great place to head after the workshop for lunch. Our cafés are: Victoria & Albert Guesthouse, One Tree Hill and Mt Vic Beans and Bites.
Accessibility:
Unfortunately our building is old and has 2 wide steps to enter the french doors. Once inside, you can move around freely on our timber floors. Happy to help you get in the door if needed. Our shop is up a little hill from parking on the highway. Toilet is an old outhouse up the driveway of 113 Great Western Hwy. Alternatively you can use the park across the road (which has MLAK disability toilet too). Ideally, if you have a support person, this shouldn't be too bad. Apologies as I would love to make this easier!
