Korean Cloth Gift Wrapping (Bojagi) session!

Use reclaimed and offcut fabrics to create a plastic free and reusable wrapping for gifts. Join us for a mindful, upcycled hand-stitched construction using flat-felled seams inspired by the Korean bojagi method.

The focus is on process, material awareness, and thoughtful making. Participants will work with upcycled textiles, learning how enclosed seams can transform scraps into strong, reversible cloth. This is a great skill, when you need to zone out but want a break from your phone.

You will complete a small joined panel while gaining a deeper appreciation of how technique and mindfulness can give new life to existing materials. All materials supplied, and you will each receive a stitching kit to take home!

Your Presenter Melody is a Melbourne-based textile artist and educator. Melody’s personal textile practice explores slow stitching and hand construction techniques, valuing the tactile engagement of fabric and the quiet rhythm of making by hand.

This event is proudly part of Plastic Free July Maribyrnong, 2026.
