About this Event
Laurs Kemp is a Portland-based rework designer focusing on upcycling thrifted materials into one-off garments, documenting these sewing projects as tutorial videos, and hosting in-person reworkshops. This Fall, she's staging a residency at legendary local shop Frances May. During her residency, she will be hosting a series of in-person reworkshops to encourage participants to extend the life of their wardrobe through upcycling.
In this project, we'll be tweaking the hem of a classic crisp button-up with an arched hem. This has been one of my most requested upcycles. It gives a bold, modern update to a classic garment. All you need to bring is your button-up of choice! I'll provide sewing machines and supplies. Bring a pal or fly solo.
Perfect for a beginner who wants a fun project as an entry point, as well as intermediate sewists who want to explore upcycling techniques. This is a 2.5 hour class with cutting, pinning and sewing, and I'll guide you along the way. You'll leave with some sewing and upcycling chops and a fabulous new shirt with an arched hem!
