Sewing: Upcycling & Recycling


Course number : ADS598    ID : 22960    Class Section Number : 1

« back to classes page
Create one-of-a-kind clothing from existing garments and textile goods. Upcycling is a way to transform worn, out-of-style, or cheap clothing into new, higher quality items. Upcycling is an important tool in contemporary clothing design, and has been featured in designer clothing lines, Vogue, and Project Runway. Plus, it keeps old clothing and textiles out of the landfill! Practice repurposing clothing with a mix-and-match approach, creating new looks from a combination of old materials. Through the process of upcycling, learn to make your own pattern, tailor and alter clothing, patch fabric, and attach zippers. Take on projects like creating a dress from an old wedding dress or curtain, a shirt from an old dress, a hat from old pants, or a skirt from a men’s shirt. Prerequisite: ADS591 Sewing: Level 3 or hand-and machine-sewing skills and a basic understanding of sewing patterns.
