UPSKILL + UPCYCLE // Repair w Style

UPSKILL + UPCYCLE // Repair w Style

Over six weeks of classes we cover sewing machine techniques, garment textile repairs and design and sew three of your own Into Carry bags. We dive deep into repair techniques so you can understand different styles and functions to apply to your garment repairs at home. As we are learning these repair techniques, you will be applying your new skills by designing your own Into Carry bags. These include an A5 Pouch, Glasses Case and (the final piece) a Min Sidebag.

WHO IT'S FOR: For this semester you don't need any prior sewing skills (just a can-do attitude and a hate for landfill). We cover the basics of using a sewing machine so you can repair your own garments at home. If you have sewn in the past but want to brush up on your skills, this is a great place to start. 

LEARNINGS: Over the six weeks you learn the following skills:

• How to use a domestic sewing machine
• Sewing on woven fabrics
• Machine Repair technique (mending holes using a sewing machine)
• Sewing Buttons/Button Holes
• Decorative Stitches (styling repairs)
• Applique & Reverse Applique (patchwork techniques)
• Patch creation (kind of like Scouts/Girl Guides badges, but way cooler)

THE FORMAT: Each week consists of one two hour class, for six weeks. Each class covers a different skillset so you can tackle your own projects at home.

• Class runs 6pm-8pm 
• 6 Weeks of 2 hour classes
• 6-8 Student Class with 2-3 'teachers' per session
• No prior skills required
• Each student will have their own sewing machine to practice on
• You will be guided through threading and troubleshooting a sewing machine
• Basic sewing and patch techniques covered (so you can do rad designs at home)
• Each student will get to take home their own custom Glasses Case, A5 Pouch and Min Sidebag. 

THE NUMBERS: Included in the $480 ticket is six weeks of classes, valued at $100 per class and the three Into Carry bags valued at $200 RRP, total value of $800 for $480.
