🧵 Upcycled Tote Workshop 🧵
Give new life to old fabrics and create a one-of-a-kind tote you’ll actually use.
In this Craft & Connect workshop, you’ll transform old t-shirts or other well-loved fabrics into a custom-designed tote using simple, beginner-friendly techniques.
This is a creative, low-pressure way to reuse materials you already have—whether that’s an old shirt, a piece you no longer wear, or something you’ve been meaning to repurpose.
You’ll explore simple layout and layering techniques to design a tote that feels fresh, modern, and completely your own.
No sewing experience is needed. This workshop is beginner-friendly and designed to be a relaxed, social creative experience.
Whether you come with friends or on your own, you’ll enjoy a welcoming atmosphere and leave with something practical and unique.
You’ll leave with:
A custom tote bag made using your upcycled fabric.
