Flip My Thrift: Business Shirt to Peplum Top

Remaking designer/maker Lisa Haas will guide you through the practical and technical side of transforming a thrifted business shirt into a new cute peplum top.

This hands-on workshop is all about getting you started on your 'flip' or remaking journey by trying a set design in a supportive environment before delving further into your own designs bringing your own upcycling visions to life.

You’ll leave with greater confidence, new skills, and if not the completed garment, the steps to continue and finish at home.

♻️ Circular fashion in action — keeping clothes in use, out of landfill, and full of life.

****

Flip Your Thrift is suitable for advanced beginners to experienced sewists. However, if you're not sure if you have the skills required, get in touch - we're here to help.

You will need to bring a business shirt (male or female), preferably oversized to allow for changes to be made.

We can cover most of your other needs (scissors, sewing machine, overlocker, threads etc)
