Create one of a kind shopping bags or foldover pouches using recycled fabrics! Is there a dress you love the fabric, but it's not quite wearable anymore? A favorite blouse or T-shirt you just can't let go of (but perhaps should)? This is the perfect opportunity to up/recycle and reuse cherished fabrics! Students will be guided through selecting fabrics, cutting patterns, and assembling your custom and reusable shopping bag or pouch by Fashion Designer Amanda Perna. Quick Info: Students will need to bring several items of clothing or fabric materials that they would like to cut up for the project. This can include shirts, blouses, sheets, pillow cases, dresses, etc. Think of items with larger area to work with.Embellishments will be provided, and Amanda will guide students on stitching and attachment techniques.Students will be laying out the patterns and cutting their own fabric to create the bags.
