Handmade by You & Make, Thrift London - Competition!

Handmade by You studio

As we all know January can be a long and dreary month. The over indulgence of food/drink and irregular sleeping patterns during Christmas and New Year usually takes its toll in January and puts us in a slumber.

So what perfect way to start the New Year than to get creative and learn some useful skills along the way. A new series of workshops called ‘Thrifty Makes’ from Make, Thrift London will be on throughout January at the Handmade by You studios at Alfies. You can learn to how to;

• Upcycle a tote bag - 14th January, 6.30-8.30pm
• Upcycle collar clips from wine corks - 16th January, 6.30-8.30pm
• Make easy clothes alterations - 21st January, 6.30-9.00pm
• Make your own thrifty wrap and stationary - 23rd January, 6.30-8.30pm
• Dye your own ombre tights - 28th January, 6.30-8.30pm
• Make a teacup scented candle - 30th January, 6.30-8.30pm

Make sure you are quick to book as there are a limited number of early bird places at just £10! Do not fret if you miss out on the early bird offer as these workshops are not only thrifty by name, but thrifty by nature as you can still take part for the princely sum of £15 (usually £28!).
So no excuses, get crafty! Click here for more info.
