How much does the workshop cost?

How can upcycling contribute to sustainability in fashion?

Upcycling helps reduce waste, as you’re reusing old garments rather than buying new ones. It’s a creative, sustainable way to refresh your wardrobe without contributing to fast fashion.

Will I learn how to design new garments from scratch as well?

While the focus is on upcycling, you’ll also gain insights into basic fashion design principles, including pattern-making, fabric choices, and designing for sustainable fashion.

How do I know if a piece of clothing is suitable for upcycling?

Generally, any clothing that is still in good condition but has become outdated or damaged can be upcycled. If it’s a piece you no longer wear, that’s a good starting point!

What skills will I learn in the upcycling part of the workshop?

You’ll learn how to repurpose old garments into fashionable, new pieces. Skills may include altering fits, adding embellishments, patching, embroidery, and even dyeing fabrics.

Can I bring my own sewing machine or tools?

You are welcome to bring your own sewing machine and tools if you prefer. However, we’ll have plenty of equipment available for use throughout the workshop.

What types of clothes can be upcycled?

Almost any type of clothing can be upcycled, from old jeans, shirts, and jackets to fabric scraps. We encourage creativity in transforming what you already have into something fresh.

Will there be a break during the workshop?

Yes, we will have scheduled breaks for refreshments and rest. Detailed timing will be provided on the day of the workshop.

Can I take my creations home?

Yes, absolutely! You’ll have the chance to complete your upcycled items and take them home with you.

Do I need to register in advance?

Yes, pre-registration is required to ensure we have enough materials and space for everyone. Please sign up through our website or contact us directly for registration.

What kind of materials will be provided?

We will supply basic materials such as fabrics, sewing tools, and other essential items. However, feel free to bring additional clothing or accessories you’d like to upcycle.

How long is the workshop?

The workshop duration typically lasts 2-4 hours for 1 or 2 days every month. It is a reoccurring event depending on the structure of the event. Specific timings will be provided upon registration.

What should I bring to the workshop?

Bring any old clothes or fabric you want to upcycle. We'll also provide clothes, fabrics, materials, tools, and sewing machines, but feel free to bring any personal supplies you prefer.

Do I need any prior experience in fashion design or sewing?

No prior experience is required! We'll guide you through the process and provide instructions and materials. If you already have some experience, you can still learn new techniques or refine your skills.

Who can attend the workshop?

The workshop is open to everyone, from beginners to advanced designers. Whether you're interested in sustainable fashion or looking to learn new design techniques, you'll find value in the session.
