What do I bring?

All materials are supplied for this workshop at The ReDress Hub however if you have your own sewing machine you'd like to know how to use, please feel free to bring this along, with its instruction manual. If you don't have one, many are downloadable by doing an internet search.

Please note: we have some people bring in very old sewing machines and while we will try our best to get you working on these old machines, we are not sewing machine experts so we can't make any promises!
