Keen to dabble in making clothes – with nature?

In this two-day summer camp, young creatives will draft, cut and sew their very own T-shirts at CHAT Lab. They will also discover the wonders of our rooftop farm at The Mills and learn how to make beautiful natural pigments and dyes from plants.

Day 1: Design, Cut and Sew
At CHAT Lab, participants will learn to create a unique jersey top from a basic T-shirt pattern.
– Drafting a paper pattern
– Cutting fabric
– Sewing with an overlock sewing machine
*Each participant will receive jersey fabric to make one T-shirt.

Day 2: Dye and Customise
Participants will learn about the plants growing at the rooftop farm of The Mills (The Deck) and how to turn them into vibrant natural colours and dyes. We will then head to CHAT Studio to dye the T-shirts created on Day 1.
– Rooftop farm tour and foraging for leaves
– Leaf pounding activity
– Dyeing the T-shirt from Day 1 at CHAT Studio
– Making a textile badge with leaf-pounded fabric to customise the T-shirt
