Upcycling Old Textiles

  • The Scrappy Elephant 1745 Allied Street Charlottesville, VA, 22903 United States (map)

Textile waste is responsible for close to 100 million tons of waste annually. Learn to reduce your footprint by upcycling and repurposing textiles, giving them new life. We’ll cover various methods of mending, altering existing clothing (including remaking items) as well as making new items out of unexpected items, like duvet covers, sheets, tablecloths and more. Some prior sewing knowledge is helpful.

Students should bring an upcycling project (or two) they’d like to work on. A sewing kit (pins, measuring tape, marking tools, fabric scissors, ruler) is suggested, but not required.
