On an individual basis, the instructor will teach you the above stitching skills to match
the desired outcome of your project.
What is the course about?
Learn how to transform, alter and modify the shape and style of a garment using
various techniques, styles and methods mentioned above.
The purpose is to take old, worn out or damaged clothing and transform it into
something new. Clothing that doesn’t fit any longer, is torn, stained or otherwise
damaged, can be refashioned into a new product.

that we create. Upcycled garments decrease the demand for the wasteful production
of new clothing and prevent old textiles from ending up in landfills.
