## Join us online for a free Make do and Mend workshop 

The focus of these sessions is to reduce textile waste by mending, repairing, altering and reusing fabrics and reminding everyone that textiles should **not** go in the kerbside recycling bin

The workshops are all available below to watch and craft along with the handy how to guide.

For all the projects we would encourage everyone to use unwanted materials from around the home or that have been donated or bought from a charity shop to ensure as much material is reused in Nottinghamshire as possible.



 

 

 



### Each project below has a step by step video to guide you through the process to make your own item. 

The worksheet and templates are downloadable and print at A4 size.
