“My 14yo daughter and I had a great time upcycling our clothes. We learnt lots of awesome tips from Bex about how to reinvigorate our wardrobe and how to be effective thrifters. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to learn some practical ways to live more sustainably.” – Kate M

“Fun morning spent at this Upcycling Workshop, great ideas to easily modify and adjust items just sitting in my wardrobe I wasn’t wearing. Best part we (attendees and with facilitator Bec) inspired each other and shared easy and clever tips. I’ve upcycled many items in my wardrobe since doing the workshop.” – GD

“I’m so glad I booked a clothes altering workshop. I had several pieces of clothing that as much as I loved them, they just did not work for me. Bex gave me some great ideas and ways to change the fit and encouraged me to make alterations to them rather than sending them to landfill. She has made me think twice about the clothes I already have and a pile is gathering for my next workshop! Thanks again Bex.” – Michelle

“I recently attended a clothes upcycling workshop with Bec, and it was fantastic! Bec is very knowledgeable and shared lots of practical tips. She also showed many examples of upcycled clothes, which were incredibly inspiring. The workshop was well-organized, enjoyable and fun, perfect for anyone interested in sustainable fashion. Highly recommend!” – Julie

“I had a great time at the Upcycling Workshop with Second Life Upcycling. Bec is a friendly and knowledgeable teacher and I loved the collaborative atmosphere of the workshop. It has been decades since I last used a sewing machine, but Bec was able to bring me up to speed really quickly. I loved the inspiration that she gave us for making the most of the clothes that we already have. Thanks to this class, I can now breathe new life into clothes that have just been hiding at the back of my cupboard.” – JJ

“I loved the clothes upcycling workshop. I went straight home and started overhauling my wardrobe.  I now have a pile of clothes that I have started altering to fit me properly and an upcycling pile that I will refashion to suit my style. By the end, I should have a brand new wardrobe of clothes without having spent a cent!  Thanks Bec.  You’re a true inspiration.” – Leanne
