What is it and why should I do it?

Who says fashion cannot be sustainable and environmentally friendly? Fashion has long been known for its frivolousness as last year’s clothes head for landfill. Become a 'recycler' of fashion by giving an unwanted fashion/textile item a second chance at being desirable, useful and loved. Students will recycle yesterday’s fashion into up-cycled and transformed individual fashion statements using embroidery, applique, deconstruction and/or reconstruction techniques. Students need to supply the ready-made garment for reconstruction. Previous sewing experience would be an advantage but not essential.
