It is easier to buy clothing than to part with it. Clothes will get worn for a season or two, and then they pass into closet limbo. This workshop aims to reduce the consumption of fast fashion, adopting a kinder lifestyle for our planet. You will learn ways in which wearable art can act as a form of self-expression.

At this hands-on clothes upcycling workshop, participants are invited to bring their own clothes to adapt, repurpose, and upcycle sewing by hand. Using the instructor’s work as inspiration, participants are encouraged to express their own pop culture iconographies or those specific to their lifestyle.

Supplies Required:

• Garments to be upcycled (3 max)
• Desired design images / magazines 
• Scissors medium size 
• A fine-tip seam ripper 
• Point turner 
• Pins and hand sewing needle
• A selection of buttons, snaps, hook and eyes, zippers etc.
