A sociable sewing evening, upcycling old vinyl Medway Pride vinyl banners into a bag or accessory. Basic sewing machine experience is advisable, but only simple stitching is required for some of the suggested makes. Or if you prefer, try channelling your inner Sewing Bee persona, freestyling ideas and using your sewist skills with the materials on hand, saving the vinyl banners from landfill.
