In this project, we'll be tweaking the hem of a classic crisp button-up with an arched hem. This has been one of my most requested upcycles. It gives a bold, modern update to a classic garment. All you need to bring is your button-up of choice! I'll provide sewing machines and supplies.
Perfect for a beginner who wants a fun project as an entry point, as well as intermediate sewists who want to explore upcycling techniques. This is a 2.5 hour class with cutting, pinning and sewing, with guidance from Laurs all along the way.

In this project, we'll be sewing a pair of vintage cloth gloves to the garment of your choice. This has been one of my most requested upcycles, and lends an eye-catching, surreal detail. All you need to bring is your garment of choice: tanks, blouses, tops, light sweaters and blazers. I'll provide sewing machines, vintage gloves, and sewing supplies.
