Learn to create new clothes out of old ones! Upcycling, or thrift flipping, is the art of reworking a garment into a new look or style. Learn to upcycle with us as we walk you through our favorite upcycle projects. We will teach you how to create them step by step on your own garments and be there to help you as you learn hands-on sewing the projects yourself in class.
We designed this class to make one of our favorite hobbies fun and approachable for you. Let your creativity shine as you learn to transform your wardrobe!
6 weeks, 6 incredible projects:
- Create a puff shirt out of a button up shirt
- Make a top or sweater into a dress by adding fabric
- Transform a blazer into a skirt
- Tailor an oversized jacket into dress
- Expand pant legs into flare or wide legs
- Mixing sweatshirts or t shirts
Bring in garments to practice on that are not your favorite pieces. We want you to feel comfortable cutting into pieces for learning.We provide all the tools, machines, and cutting space you'll need, and we will be there to help and guide you every step of the way. Just bring in the garments you want to alter and any additional fabric, trim, and matching threads you want to use on them. If you need garments to practice on, go to a thrift store and pick some up (so cheap!)
You will be emailed a supply list of everything you need to bring into class.
Prerequisite: Sewing 101 or equivalent skills plus our Alterations course or equivalent skills
