Anew Presents: Make Aneew Upcycling Denim Workshop

​Join us for this very special activity and learn how to make a new product out of upcycled denim pants. Your facilitators Carolina and Carmen, from MAKE ANEEW, will introduce you to circular fashion through garment deconstruction, pattern copying, and remanufacturing.

​Using discarded cotton/blend denim pants, participants will create a functional zippered pouch while learning foundational skills in cutting, tracing, and sewing. The workshop focuses on garment reuse, aligning with MAKE ANEEW’s mission to reframe textile waste as a valuable resource.

​In this workshop, you will learn to deconstruct garments to maximize usable fabric, trace a reusable pouch pattern, cut and sew a zippered pouch from upcycled denim. Best of all, you can take home the pouch and the pattern template (to reuse again and again)!

​Participants MUST know how to operate a sewing machine and have a beginning to intermediate level of sewing experience.

​No cost to participate, but advance registration is required.

​Anew is a gathering space and discovery center for the social impact community.

​MAKE ANEEW helps you recover value from discarded garments through repair, remanufacturing and fiber-to-fiber recycling.
