In the framework of the initiative “Green Fridays for Youth”, which aims to engage young people in various environmental activities and creative pursuits, a very interesting workshop “Make a quilt from clothes and recycle textiles” was held. The event attracted several participants eager to learn how to breathe new life into old and unwanted clothes.
The workshop was led by Ellen Sabtini, who showed how with a little creativity and imagination old textile materials can be transformed into beautiful and functional products. During the workshop, participants had the opportunity to learn about the process of making a rug from textile waste. Deer showed different methods of cutting old clothes into strips and weaving these strips into a beautiful and colorful shag. The technique involves the use of knitting frames that allow for easy weaving of different fabrics, creating a unique design.
The workshop “Make a quilt out of clothes and recycle textiles” with Ellen Sabtini was not only an inspiring experience, but also an important step towards promoting environmental awareness among people. “Green Fridays for Youth continues to provide unique learning and creative opportunities, inspiring young people to be part of a sustainable future.
