Teen Lounge - Rework It Then Wear It

Teens will harness the basics of sewing (both hand and machine) to be able to turn clothes they no longer wear into articles more favorable and desirable. If you have entrepreneurial goals these pieces can also be added to your catalogue to sell! Teens will be asked to bring in their own articles that they have a desire to upcycle (additional articles will be available). The workshop will touch on techniques such as basic stitching methods, embroidery methods, how to use a sewing machine, raw edge applique, and smooth edge applique. Teens will learn about the importance of sustainability and how to combat fast fashion.
