Upcycling, or eco-friendly fashion, is a way to repurpose a garment from its original function and turn it into a brand-new, personalized piece!

All you have to do is choose a few items from your wardrobe ( made of lightweight, non-stretch fabric), and we’ll select the most suitable project. The goal is to repair, recut, and sew them, adding embroidery, ribbons, and patches to give them a second life.

This workshop is perfect for discovering sewing ( by hand or machine) with guidance!

Workshop Schedule (2 hours):

• Decide on a project to work on, starting with a garment from your closet (we’ll choose the most suitable one together).
• Choose materials, finishes, etc.
• Create your custom design (with or without a sewing machine) and repair garments.

Come repair, embellish, update, or simply give a new look to a garment to create one that reflects your personal style. Lou, a professional fashion designer with over 20 years of experience, will be happy to guide you through your project and provide plenty of ideas.

There are plenty of good reasons to try upcycling: they can be ethical, economical, or even eco-friendly. Whether you’re participating yourself or giving this as a gift, you’ll leave this fashion workshop feeling completely satisfied.
