Get into the Halloween spirit with a cosy evening of crafting at Change Clothes!
In this beginner-friendly workshop, you’ll create your very own spooky felt mug rug - a mini textile mat perfect for sitting under your favourite mug, candle or other little Halloween treats.
Using reclaimed felt and textile scraps, we’ll play with Halloween-inspired shapes, colours and designs to create a one-of-a-kind piece to take home. Think ghosts, pumpkins, bats, cobwebs and whatever other spooky creations you can dream up.
All materials and equipment are provided, with a focus on reclaimed and reused textiles. No sewing experience needed – just bring yourself and your spooky spirit! 👻

Who needs shop-bought Hallowe’en costumes when you can make your own bespoke creation?
In this hands-on workshop, turn old textiles into a dramatic pair of wearable bat wings. Cut, shape and bring old materials to life just in time for Hallowe’en Night.
No sewing experience - no problem. You’ll learn simple techniques along the way so just come ready and willing to get stuck in!
All materials are provided, but if you have an old black t-shirt, dress, or bit of fabric in need of a second life, do bring it along.
About Change Clothes
Change Clothes is your community-based textile reuse hub. Based in The Liberties, we’re on a mission to prevent textile waste at its source, tackling the problem locally before it becomes a global issue. Along the way, we create opportunities for under employed people and spark meaningful change. Our goal is to make textile reuse community-focused, fun, affordable, and social.

Cat? Fox? Wolf? Mysterious woodland creature?
Cute, creepy or completely ridiculous?

Complete your Hallowe’en transformation with a tail of your own.
Go classic with a cat, fox or wolf tail, or forget the rule book and invent an entirely new creature of your own!
Using old textiles, fabric scraps and reclaimed materials, we’ll show you how to design and construct a wearable tail but also how a little creativity can turn something destined for waste into something brilliant.
The most sustainable Hallowe’en is one you don’t have to buy new.
No previous sewing or making experience needed - just a bit of imagination!
