Sustainable Fashion-Refashioning Garments

Explore the growing refashioning movement and the possibilities it offers for creativity and fun. With fast fashion filling our landfills, and enough garments to clothe generations, you can rethink the life of your clothes by refashioning them into other garments or useful items.  You will work on creating a refashioned garment using denim jeans and/or men’s button up shirts as you explore techniques for rethinking, deconstructing, and creating a new garment using garment sewing skills. Kiki will bring examples of refashioned items and many ideas to spark your inner designer.
