New art works by members of the SBSA

Exhibition of art old an dnew from members and friends

We all have clothes which we have grown out of or are damaged beyond repair and more often than not they are thrown out & end up in landfill sites.
Upcycling is a wonderful way to create something new from something old – and it’s a great way to learn new sewing skills as well.
Basic sewing skills are needed (i.e. knowing how to use a sewing machine and sew a straight seam).

Learn & Create believe that everyone can be creative – but for young crafters some of the skills and techniques can be quite hard to pick up!
The Summer Craft Club is for those kids who just want to make things, play with colours and get creative without restrictions! If you can use a pencil/paintbrush, thread a bead on a string & make a shape with play dough – then you are all set for Summer Craft Club!

Every day we will have two projects to complete – with a break for lunch & games.
If the weather is good we will aim to work outside!

We will go all the way through the project from project design, fabric selection, customising our pattern, cutting fabric & construction.

We will be making a pair of the Waves & Wild Four Seasons Joggers and Emi T-Shirt which are a great comfy combination. They both have lots of different options including different lengths, sleeves and pockets. We will be working with stretch fabric so will be learning to use different machine stitches and possibly trying out the overlocker machines.

We will be making a pair of the Waves & Wild Hey Days Dungarees – a fantastic garment for any age or style! This pattern has lots of customisable options meaning you can really create your own unique dungarees.

Each block will have a different theme & every day we will be creating something new!

All activities will introduce basic craft skills, combining colours, working with different materials and construction.

We will provide the instructions & ideas but kids will be able to explore their own creativity and make their own choices, with the overall goal being FUN!

Parents/Carers will be welcome to stay & enjoy tea, coffee & refreshments or you can drop kids off & enjoy the child-free time!
