If you wish to breathe new life into your wardrobe and make it more sustainable, this is your chance. Whether you need to mask a stain, repair a garment, tailor a dress, or transform trousers into a skirt, Monika will provide you with the skills to fall in love with your pieces again. Don’t forget to bring your accessories and leather items as well!How Does It Work?
Simply bring your own pieces of clothing to our studio and work with our designer, Monika, to alter, upcycle, and repair them. Monika will guide you through the entire creative process, from design to execution. Together, we will explore ways to redesign your clothes to fit your style and measurements. You’ll also benefit from learning alongside your classmates, having fun, and enjoying time in a friendly, relaxed social enterprise.
The small workshop size (4 people max.) ensures valuable one-to-one teacher and participant time, allowing maximum engagement and assistance.
By the End of the Workshop, You Will:
- Have clothes that fit you and reflect your style.
- Have basic skills in alteration, upcycling, mending, and repair, along with special tools.
- Have the confidence to continue restyling, upcycling, and mending your clothes in the future.
- Develop self-reliant skills to improve the sustainability of your wardrobe.
- Contribute to reducing textile waste! By extending the life of your clothes for an extra 9 months, you can reduce their carbon footprint by 20-30%.
What’s Included:
All of the materials and tools you need to upcycle or repair your garments.
Few Examples of Garments and Accessories:
- Items that are too big or too small
- Broken zippers
- Clothes with stains, holes, or rips
- Knitted garments
- Items that are too short or too long
- Items you’re completely unsure how to handle
Please feel free to bring 4-6 pieces of your garments; there will be plenty of room to consult on the best way to alter them. This is a problem-solving class, so just bring items that aren't fitting you!
Join us to learn creative methods, gain new skills, and have fun in our creative studio space!
