Upcycle Clothing: Teens Workshop 3 – Reimagine Your Wardrobe

Bring along a clothing item that’s been sitting at the back of your wardrobe and transform it into something you’ll love to wear again.

In the final session of our teen upcycling workshop series, Alison Brophy, Family Learning Officer for Bradford Museums & Galleries, will help participants explore creative ways to repurpose and reinvent unwanted clothing. Using the skills learned throughout the programme, you’ll customise, alter and embellish a garment to create a refreshed look that’s uniquely yours.

Whether it’s a tired t-shirt, an old pair of jeans or a top you’ve fallen out of love with, this workshop is all about giving clothes a second chance while developing practical sewing and upcycling skills.

What you’ll learn

• How to safely use a sewing machine

• Creative ways to repurpose old clothing and fabric

Please bring

An old item of clothing or fabric remnant suitable for turning into a bag.
