From Wedding Dress to Christmas Bauble

What do do with your old wedding dress christmas bauble workshop

New Dates Added for My Sold-Out Zero Waste Christmas Bauble Workshop!

Remember that wedding dress gathering dust in your wardrobe? The one that's been giving you guilt trips since 2010? Plot twist: it's about to become the star of your Christmas tree.

My "How to Sew a Zero Waste Christmas Bauble from Your Old Wedding Dress" workshop launched in October and completely sold out. So I've added two shiny new dates: November 25th and December 6th. Let's get festive, sustainable, and a tiny bit emotional (in a good way!).

What's This Workshop All About?

This is a live 2-hour online workshop where I'll teach you to hand-sew a gorgeous, beaded Christmas bauble from your old wedding dress, your mum's dress, or literally any treasured garment that's been playing hide-and-seek in your closet.

No sewing machine needed. No experience required. I literally start with "this is how you thread a needle" – because we're keeping it real and inclusive here.

Here's What You'll Get:

  • Live guidance through every single stitch (I'm talking hand-holding levels of support)

  • Multiple bauble templates to choose from

  • Practice time on old fabric first (because nobody's diving straight into silk!)

  • FREE video tutorial included with your ticket – watch it beforehand, rewatch it afterwards, or pause me mid-sentence when you need a cuppa

  • Tips, tricks, and probably some terrible jokes from me

Why Transform Your Wedding Dress?

Let's be honest – that dress deserves better than a box in the attic. It's a creative goldmine stuffed with memories, and I want to help you turn it into something you can actually enjoy every Christmas.

No guilt. No waste. Just beautiful, meaningful decorations or personalized gifts that'll make people say "You MADE that?!"

Who's This For?

Complete beginners! If you can hold a needle, you can do this. Whether you're crafty or craft-phobic, I've got you. This is your permission slip to slow down, be creative, and make something special with your own hands.

Plus, this zero-waste approach works for any special garment – bridesmaid dresses, christening gowns, vintage finds, or that fancy shirt you'll never wear again but can't quite donate.

Book Your Spot Now!

Workshops on November 25th and December 6th are open for booking. Since the October sessions sold out fast, don't sleep on this one!
