The Stitch and Mend Workshop

We all have our favorite things to wear from jeans, dresses, all the way to shoes. There are also pieces in our closet that we don’t want to throw away because maybe one day we may wear them. Sound familiar? In this workshop, students will learn the magic behind sewing, upcycling, and create something brand new out of those unworn pieces in your closet. Presenter: Isabel Varela, public speaker, master tailor, sustainable fashion activist, zero-waste fashion designer, and artist Materials Needed: Small home-sewing machine / Industrial Machine Tape measure Scissors Seam ripper Navy thread White tailors chalk Pins or Safety Pins Iron Old Pair of Jeans Towel Construction Paper Pencil
