Bikini Top Tee Thrift Flip

Do you have tshirts just sitting in your closet that you want to upcycle into something you’d get more wear out of? Give your wardrobe an instant nostalgia boost! In this hands-on fashion upcycling workshop, we are throwing it back to the early 2000’s to recreate a viral streetwear favorite. You’ll learn how to take a classic, everyday crewneck t-shirt and transform it into a trendy, layered “faux-bikini” top featuring a triangle overlay, delicate lace trim, and functional tie-backs to give it that cinched look.
Whether you’re looking to level up your garment customization skills or just want to create a totally unique piece for your summer wardrobe, this class will guide you through the trickier mechanics of mixing fabrics with ease. A beginner friendly project that will make a statement.
What you’ll learn:
- beginner friendly sewing machine skills
- transfer and upcycle a basic tee
- create patchwork with scrap fabric
- appliqué and trim placement
- precision top stitching
- anatomical mapping
- using stabilizers such as interfacing
All you need to bring is your own tshirt and we supply the rest! If you have a specific fabric in mind you are more than welcome to bring it. If not we have fabrics you can pick from.
