Come join us and learn how to upcycle textiles into fresh new garments! The Upcycled Hoodie is part upcycling, part garment sewing and ALL beginner-friendly! This class is designed for those who took our Beginning Sewing class and are ready for their next sewing adventure - though all beginning sewists with some projects under their belts are welcome!
This hoodie pattern design by @sullysupcycled is a wonderful beginner project and as a bonus - students are encouraged to use upcycled fabrics! If you don't have something around the house that you can reuse, you can find a trove of inspiration at your local thrift store. Any non-stretch, woven fabric is fair game - choose something that you will want to wear and be cozy in! Think quilts, blankets, curtains, sheets, and other textiles.
Materials:
- Sully's Upcycled Hoodie Pattern <--(lots of inspo here, too!)
You'll purchase the pattern straight from the designer but wait until we send you a special 50% off code after you register for class! - Approximately 3.5 yds x 60" of fabric will be needed. However, due to the nature of using what is on hand, the requirements can vary. You may need more if you want to focus on a certain motif in the textile (something we sewists call "fussy cutting"). If the piece you have in mind is too small, feel free to bring multiple fabric pieces to mix and match. We encourage creativity!
- A coordinating spool of all-purpose thread
