Making Old Clothes
New Again
Susan Pinto
We will take recycling to a whole new level. Do you love that Boho look want to wear one of a kind fashion? Then this is the class for you. As we add buttons, beads, trims and other fashion findings we help give new life to old clothing. By repurposing what we already have, we help reduce waste and keep closets out of the “fashion desert.” Bring discards, and in addition we will also have previously owned clothes for you to choose from. Join us to get creative, have fun, and give new life to old clothes. The class will give a fashion show at the presentation on Friday evening. Students are encouraged to bring old clothes they want to alter to use as materials in class.
