About this Event

Looking for a fun, creative way to breathe new life into old denim? Join our 4-hour Upcycling Denim Workshop and turn your unused denim into chic, wearable pieces! This workshop is perfect for beginner-intermediate sewists who have completed a Sewing 101 course or are comfortable operating a sewing machine and working with basic fabric cutting and stitching techniques.

What you’ll create:

Choose from two designs:

  • Under-bust corset
  • Stylish wide belt/wrap

What’s included:

• Instruction and guidance on upcycling techniques for denim.

• Sewing patterns for both garment options

• All additional materials and tools needed (except denim).

What you’ll need to bring:

• Your own denim pieces—whether they’re yours, your partner’s, or someone else’s! Any old jeans, pants, or denim items you’d like to upcycle will work.

What you’ll leave with:

• A custom, upcycled garment tailored by YOU.

• Custom pattern for your garment 

• New sewing techniques to expand your skills.

Important Notes:

• This workshop is NOT for absolute beginners. Participants must have completed Sewing 101 or have basic sewing skills, including machine operation and fabric cutting.

• Please include your wearable size when signing up for the workshop to ensure we prepare the custom pattern for you.

Give your denim a new story and take home a piece you’ll be proud to wear!
