Turn yesterday’s clothing into inventive statement pieces. In this hands-on workshop, we’ll explore the power of creativity and sustainability through fashion. Rather than tossing out outdated or ill-fitting garments, we’ll teach you how to transform them into something fresh, functional, and totally you. Participants will learn a range of techniques to rework, redesign, and reimagine their wardrobe using what they already have. In this class, you’ll learn how to:

- Convert long-sleeve dresses or tops into sleeveless or short-sleeved styles
- Turn old jeans into custom skirts or accessories
- Shorten hems for a cropped, modern silhouette
- Combine two or more tops to create an entirely new garment
- Add statement patches, trims, or panels to upgrade plain piecesUse decorative stitching and visible mending to make flaws fabulous
- Understand basic pattern hacking to reshape garments
- Explore draping and deconstruction techniques
Choose the best tools and methods for different fabrics
- Cultivate your own creative voice through sustainable design
- Bring in garments you’re ready to part with—or pieces you love but never wear—and leave with refreshed, wearable, and personalized fashion that tells a story.
