Discover the wonderful possibilities of recycled plastic, and delve into the world of sewing and upcycling with BERNINA!

Every year, Singaporeans use an average of 1.76 billion plastic items a year, of which 820 million are supermarket-issued plastic bags. On top of that, it is estimated that only 6% of plastic waste is actually recycled. While the statistics are alarming, we as individuals can do our part to help!

In this brand new workshop, join BERNINA in creating a sleek and chic card holder that's going to be a conversation starter! It will be one-of-a-kind, eco-friendly and most importantly, made by you.

You will be provided with a leathery material called ‘fused plastic’, which has been upcycled from the humble plastic bag, featuring unique prints created from thread scraps salvaged from the BERNINA studio. With this unconventional textile, you will be guided through the use of a BERNINA sewing machine to assemble your very own card holder.

In this session, you will:

• Discover and explore the potential of plastic waste;
• Learn sewing basics on a BERNINA sewing machine;
• Gain some tips and tricks on working with specialty materials;
• Meet some new people; and most of all,
• Take home your very own upcycled plastic card holder!

ABOUT THE TRAINER

Kang is a self-taught artist and designer who loves upcycling and using unconventional materials. Even though he has been crafting for most his life, his sewing journey only began in 2018, when he decided to get over his fear of the sewing machine and sign up for some classes. And that unlocked a whole new creative and therapeutic world of possibilities that Kang is keen to explore together with you.

All of BERNINA's trainers are experienced and accomplished in their own right, and they meet BERNINA's strict standards before they are given coaching responsibilities.
