Slow Fashion 2-Day Creation, Create a Sweat / Hoodie

At the end of this fun and dynamic workshop students will leave with a finished sweat shiort / hoodie of their choice.

Slow fashion techniques encourage recycling, upcycling and use of existing fabric stashes, garments, duvet covers, old jeans, sourced fabrics, dressing gowns and vintage table cloths, etc to create something new and 'exclusively one-off' for your self or another. This is a planet friendly class.

​​Suitable for the absolute first time sewer through to the more experienced; students will create their own unique slow fashion sweat shirt / hoodie (various styling options offered).

Guided step by step, students will cut, sew, and finish their garment with 'easy cheat' production techniques. Garments will be fitted and styled to the individual to suit their chosen styling and fabrics. Easy to use pre cut production patterns will be supplied for ease of creation. Students will learn unexpected yet easy fit techniques.
