Upcycled Clothing Workshop

Do you have a favorite pair of jeans or a cotton shirt that’s ripped, frayed, or otherwise in need of a little TLC? In this playful, hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to give your well-loved cotton and denim clothes a second life as you explore the art of creative mending and upcycling.
In just a few hours, fiber artist Jeannie Thomma will teach you a variety of simple stitching, patching, and mending techniques that are both utilitarian and expressive. You’ll then use these hand-stitched embellishments to transform your worn items into unique, expressive pieces.
Whether you’re covering a tear, reinforcing high-wear areas, or just adding flair, this workshop blends practicality with creativity, helping you extend the life of your wardrobe while developing your own signature style.
No prior sewing experience necessary!
