Lesley is a fashion instructor, artist, zinemaker, former nonprofit program manager with a Master's Public Administration, Fashionable Lady About Town, and blogger.

Upcycling is a creative way to make one-of-a kind clothing while reducing your carbon footprint. 

Using two men's long sleeved button-down shirts, heavy-duty thread, and a needle, you'll design, pin, cut, and stitch a hand-sewn apron.   

You'll leave this class with the skills needed to create upcycled designs and simple do-it-yourself clothing transformations on your own (think turning formless clothes into functional fashion!). 

Unplug and grab a needle & thread -- sew fun!

(Class size: 8-10, hands on, no sewing experience needed. This is a two night class, if you finish early be ready to start a new project. You'll need to bring 2 men's button up shirts with you.)
