Whether you’re a total beginner with a pair of scissors and a needle or an experienced sewist or yarn person with a stash of fabrics and/or yarns\, upcycling invites experimentation: repurposing\, reshaping\, and reimagining existing pieces into garments that reflect your style while reducing waste. \nJoin us in our next Designalong: Revive and Reimagine: Upcycling Fashion – Explore a variety of techniques and then choose one for yourself to move from concept to final garment. You will love learning with others in this workshop format. You will also enjoy learning that the approach to design is simple and logical.
