TEXTILE UPCYCLING // Six Week Semester

With an emphasis on bringing existing garments back to like, you will explore the basics of construction and pattern making processes while designing and making (start to finish) your own tote bags, wallets and other attachments. Leaning into the 'Upcycle' part, we cover more than just sewing and dive into textile natural dying (turmeric, avocado etc). Then capping the semester off with a custom Into Carry Sidebag to show off all of your new upcycling skills.
