In each of these three classes, we’ll discuss upcycling and design based on existing clothing. Specifically, we’ll dissect a cotton dress shirt, which is a great example of being a “sum of its parts.” What elements are worth preserving? Which areas lend themselves to a makeover? And what can be learned by examining how it is made?

Each class is a stand-alone sewing project, covering multiple sewing skills. All levels welcome. Please bring a 100% cotton long sleeve dress shirt (can be found at any thrift store) to each session.

BeAM Training Prerequisites: Orientation and Sewing. Note: Before attending an orientation training, all patrons must sign a Safety Waiver and Release. Onyen Login Required. Waivers are not a registration for trainings.

Part 2: Hot Under the Collar!

In this class, the focus is the collar of the cotton dress shirt. We’ll examine the design elements and “extract” and morph this shirt section into a valuable accessory. Come and learn some new sewing skills and ideas for upcycling.
