It's now been a year since a small group of us met and brainstormed about creating local bag libraries to reduce the number of single-use plastic bags we use :D These sewing bees are open to everyone; all ages and levels of experience welcome. At each workshop, we have lots of options for lending a hand: from unpicking donated curtains and duvet covers, to pressing, cutting, and sewing. It's a chance to learn some new skills, put old ones into practice, and connect with others through the shared goal of reducing waste. We have a range of sewing bees at venues throughout the city, and we're keen to hear from any groups who would like to get involved and host a 'bag bee'. Email for more info.
