Upcycled Denim Totebag Sewing Workshop at Paradigm

Participants will have the opportunity to construct a denim tote bag from a recycled pair of jeans provided by the Mad Patcher. They’ll take home a complete denim tote bag with a shoulder strap and new skills on upcycling and how to use a sewing machine! We will have a variety of recycled jeans available so you can find your perfect match! This class is beginner-intermediate friendly for ages 10 and up. We’ll have machines available for participants but if you have one lying around at home we encourage you to bring it in and we’ll help familiarize you with it so you can use it at home. We’ll teach about the negative impacts of fast fashion and the importance of sustainability and how easy it can be to decrease your textile waste!

10% of proceeds on this workshop will go to Clean Wisconsin https://www.cleanwisconsin.org/ to aid them in their mission to protect clean air, clean water, and the special places we cherish, now and for future generations.
