Details:
This is an opportunity for different generations to work together to learn a new skill and to help you reduce your single use plastic also! It is suitable for absolute beginners and those who lack confidence with a sewing machine to learn basic skills ; although probably suited to aged 8 and above. Please don’t feel excluded if you do already have sewing skills though. You will each make a lunch bag and sandwich wrap, similar to below. All skills will be demonstrated giving full consideration to the safe use of all equipment, however, the children will be under the supervision of their accompanying adult. All materials will be provided.
