Flip Fashion Forever July School Holidays

The original freestyle upcycling workshop for young creatives.

As seen on Better Homes & Gardens, Flip Fashion Forever is a totally different kind of sewing workshop — no patterns, no pressure, and 100% made from rescued textiles. Kids and teens thrift their own “project starters” from Re Place, Sydney’s huge secondhand clothing warehouse, using the Thrift Vouchers included in their ticket.

From there, it’s pure creative play: unpicking, reshaping, hand-sewing, embroidering, mending, adding trims, reworking T-shirts, turning jeans into skirts, or inventing something entirely new. Think finger-painting — but with textiles. There’s no “right” stitch and no one-size-fits-all preset projects. Kids learn by doing, experimenting, making mistakes, problem solving.

Each day’s workshop is guided by our team of Gen Z fashion talents — emerging designers, HSC and Uni textiles students, fashion-school grads and circular fashion advocates. Mentors include Eden Maytal, Samara Darling, Daisy Rose Cooper, Emily Hon (all AFW Innovators), and Siobhan Killen (UTS FESS), alongside 20+ young creatives who make slow fashion feel exciting, accessible and cool.

INTRODUCING OUR TEEN SESSIONS

As our Flip Fashion Forever workshops continue to grow and evolve we have noticed a demand for later starts and more peer focused groups from our teen audience. So for our upcoming July camp we are introducing Teen Sessions!

Teen Sessions are available for participants ages 14–18 where older participants can focus on their thrift flips in a smaller group, with more one-on-one attention from our mentors. Teens are always welcome to join the all-ages session too.

Teen Sessions will be held from 3-6pm on our standard F.F.F days.
