Workshop: Refashion 101

Refashioning the clothes you already own has become the latest DIY craze. If you’re interested in trying it out, whether you have sewing skills or not, this class will give you a place to start. Bring a plain skirt, t-shirt, jacket, dress or even a pillow case with you to this class, and leave with a refashioned one-of-a-kind item. Using recycled textiles as embellishment materials, you can breathe new life into your clothes or add your signature style to household items. In class you will choose from several embellishment techniques: applique, reverse applique, hand stitching/embroidery, beadwork, patchwork, deconstruction, stenciling - the possibilities are endless. All embellishment materials and tools will be provided for your use.

Class Cost: $20; $25 if you would like a garment provided for you.
