Ways to upcycle in this workshop: visible & invisible mending, applique, patching, embroidery, rhinestoning, eyeletting and more! All tools provided, drop by ;)
With the skills you learn in this workshop, you’ll be able to upcycle any future clothing with slogans, graphics, etc using just a needle and thread! The best part: it’s sustainable, one-off, and custom to you! Don’t let fast fashion giants tell you what to wear: make your own statements ;)
Help! What can I bring!
Got some trousers you never wear because of that dubious food (?) stain? NO MORE - make OCEAN PANTS with applique fish, seaweed, and bubbles galore!!
How about a top that is just too plain for your super cool self? Nah nah sew on some buttons & beads galore! (+ learn the proper couture way to sew a button on )
And that holey jumper you’re deffffffinitely going to learn to darn within the next year… diva let’s accept reality, learn to visible mend or add some star, heart, etc patches!
