This free tutorial was part of Fibreshed Ireland’s Nothing New 2023 campaign in support of Fashion Revolution week and their 10-point manifesto. Everyone’s invited to join our virtual fashion show on the 28th of April by posting a photo or video of their revamped outfit on social media, using the hashtag #fridayfashionshift!

Wool expert Sandra King from Irish Fibre Crafters gave a fun tutorial where she explained how to upcycle garments found at charity shops, swap shops, or clothing no longer worn. Sandra concentrated on needle felting onto the fabric and making suggestions of other embellishments that can be used.

You can visit Sandra’s shop and open studio Irish Fibre Crafters to buy fibre crafting supplies, wool, crafts or to learn a new skill!
