Make Do and Mend

"Textiles for Tails" Pamper your pet with accessories made from scrap fabric - perhaps a coat or bandana for your pup, or a cushion for your cat! The focus of these sessions is to reduce textile waste by teaching people basic sewing skills to mend, repair, alter and reuse fabrics into new purposes reminding everyone that textiles should not go in the kerbside recycling bin The workshop will include a tour of the facility where you can see first hand what happens to the items you put into your recycling bin and the importance of putting the correct things in. For all the workshops we will try to use recycled or donated materials and fabric to ensure as much material is reused in Nottinghamshire as possible Workshops are open to any ability - from people who have never used a sewing machine through to experienced sewers. Attendees must be from one of the 7 Boroughs and Districts of Nottinghamshire (excluding the City).

Organised by: Nottinghamshire County Council in partnership with Veolia
