Fashion ReMix: Recycled to Runway
Are you a fan of Project Runway? Do you turn worn plaid jackets into funky cropped blazers? Slacks into skirts? Drab into fab? Then our Recycled-to-Runway Workshop is a perfect fit! By recycling tossed-aside or outdated clothing to create one-of-a-kind pieces, girls learn about fabric selection, pattern-making, draping, seams, trims and notions, stitching, and finishing an outfit.
Girls work on independent and group projects, and the class size is limited to 12 students (with two teachers). Each girl enrolled in this class brings a couple of old items – from her own closet, her mom’s closet, the local vintage store or goodwill – to contribute to the salvaged clothing collection in class. The resulting pieces are amazing – fit for the runway, and you would never guess their origins.
This workshop not only adds to girls’ fashion design skill-sets, but inspires them in creating their own pieces at home and with friends. Fashion Sketching complements this class but is not a pre-requisite. All skill levels welcome, and the girls are grouped into classes by experience level. (On the online registration, please note any previous fashion experience.)
