Craftivist.ie Project #1 – Superheroes

Here at Craftivist.ie we are ready to kick off our first project!

Later this month we’re teaming up with Serve The City Limerick  – crafting up some DIY superhero capes. We will donate the finished capes to the mini superheroes in Limerick regional hospital.

We will have a workshop on Saturday 28th March in Limerick city, in The Red Hen bar (Google map directions). At the workshop we will make no-sew capes from a t-shirt (Tutorial 1 below). All you need to bring is yourself and a large plain adult t-shirt. All other bits & bobs will be provided on the day, as well as some friendly helpful advisers 🙂

If you would prefer to create one at home, you can donate a completed cape at any time between now & 30th April. Please get in touch by email (weare@craftivist.ie) or through facebook to arrange drop-off / collection.
