STITCH-A-RIDE

Hosted by the sustainable fashion label Spoke + Spool (Alia Parker and Laura Pike), Stitch-A-Ride was a series of community sewing workshops. The workshops aimed to encourage community development, skills-sharing and enable sustainable modes of transport such as cycling, through repurposing participants garments. We reached out to the community through social media channels and facilitated the workshops through funding and sponsorship from Husqvarna and the City of Sydney Creative Spaces. Spoke + Spool provided all materials including reflective tape, screen-printed textile bike path maps, how-to guides and tailoring experts on hand to guide the attendees.
