Thrift Flip: Alterations + Embellishments

About this event

Materials saved from the landfill:

textiles

Prerequisites:

Students should be able to thread + sew a straight stitch on a sewing machine before attending this class.

Skills you’ll learn:

simple but impactful adjustments to a button-down’s hem, waist, + sleeves, and creative ways to embellish your clothes

Give secondhand shirts a fresh start! In this class, you’ll learn how to tailor and rework thrifted button-downs into new, wearable garments that reflect your personal style. Using basic sewing techniques + creative design choices, you’ll transform everyday finds into something completely your own — and keep perfectly good clothes out of the landfill.

We’ll provide shirts for you to work with, but if you have one that could use a refresh, you’re encouraged to bring it along!
