About this Event
Reimagine your denim in this hands-on atelier-style workshop, where well-loved jeans are transformed into a one-of-a-kind skirt. Whether your pieces no longer fit, feel outdated, or simply no longer reflect your style, this is your opportunity to turn them into something entirely new.
Working in a small, guided setting, you’ll explore creative reconstruction techniques and develop a design that feels uniquely yours—from minimal and refined to bold and expressive.
What you’ll create:
• A custom denim skirt, thoughtfully designed and crafted by you 👗
What to bring:
• One or more pairs of jeans or denim garments (your own or thrifted) 👖
• You’re encouraged to bring multiple pieces—we can combine different washes, textures, and details into a single, distinctive design
What’s included:
• Step-by-step guidance in denim reconstruction
• Creative direction and design support throughout the process
• All additional materials and tools (denim not included)
What you’ll leave with:
• A one-of-a-kind denim skirt — completed or beautifully in progress ✨
• New skills in garment transformation and upcycling
Please note:
• This workshop is not for absolute beginners — basic sewing machine skills are required ⚠️
• If your piece isn’t finished during the session, you’re welcome to continue at home or join an Open Sewing Studio session for additional guidance 🧵
Create something entirely your own—and be part of a more conscious, less wasteful way of making fashion ♻️
