Upcycled Hoodie Workshop



This hands-on class is all about transforming thrifted, preloved, or secondhand textiles into a one-of-a-kind hoodie. Bring your own textiles from home, something from your local thrift store, or Karen will have extra options of thrifted goodies for you to purchase for $10.

For the workshop, Karen will supply:
-An oversized hoodie pattern in sizes XS-3XL.
-Extra fabric/textiles for purchase $10 if you need.
-Energy! She will be well caffeinated!
-Step by step sew-along instruction.
-Snacks of course!

What to keep in mind when choosing your textile:

-Thickness- your sewing machine will need to make it through 3 layers.
-We suggest you not use a cherished textile for your first hoodie! You might make some mistakes- so let’s learn using a textile that is not so loved!

What you will need to supply, and knowledge required:

-A sewing machine that you are familiar with operating and that you are fairly certain can get through 3 layers of the textile you have chosen.  
-This is a perfect first time garment to sew, but a basic knowledge of a sewing machine is needed.
-Pins, quilt clips, fabric scissors, 
- a thrifted, second hand or preloved textile.  This could be a quilt, blanket, or  curtain.  For an idea of amount of fabric you need, it should be about the size of a twin size bedspread.  You can also combine fabrics - sleeves and hood different from bodice etc.
