Intro To Garment Making- Denim Belts Workshop

Upcycle a pair of denim jeans into a new belt! 

Join STITCH AND DESTROY owners, Haven and Corey, for our first Intro to Garment Making Workshop. Discover how to transform a pair of denim jeans into a new adjustable belt with D-rings. Plus, make it your own by adding fun trims! In this workshop, you will learn how to create and sew a basic belt pattern based off of your measurements. This workshop is perfect for beginner sewists or seasoned pros interested in accessory design. Sewing machines, denim jeans, trims, thread and all other materials will be provided. We will be sewing on Singer Brilliance machines.

While this is a beginner friendly workshop, we do request that you have some prior experience with machine sewing. If you have used a sewing machine before, know the basics of threading a machine, and how to sew a simple straight stitch, this workshop is perfect for you! However, we will still perform a quick run through on how to thread and operate our sewing machines. No garment or pattern making experience required. This workshop is open to folks 18+.

Space is limited in our studio- we are able to accommodate 6 attendees. Sign up now to secure your spot!
