Join us for the next edition of Flags to Bags!
Help divert retired Maribyrnong city gateway flags from landfill by repurposing them into reusable bags for donation to local food relief programs.
Together we will prepare 'Take home & sew' kits for community members to pick up from Libraries and Community Centres so they can sew one or more bags at home. The bags will then be collected and donated to various local food relief programs to support their distribution of food packages. This is a community-led collective action initiative, giving life to retired materials that would otherwise go to landfill, and supporting local not-for-profit community groups. Along the way, learn about the circularity of materials, share upcycling tips and connect with other locals.
All skill levels are welcome! Tasks include measuring, cutting, pinning and sewing. Those with sewing machine skills will have the opportunity to sew!
