We will be making an oversized hoodie or crewneck style shirt out of quilts or blankets. Consider items from your home collection or thrifting something from a second-hand store. You could use sentimental materials or pieces that you just really like. Upcycling is about giving things a new life, so please don’t buy something new. Are you hesitant to make clothing? This is an easy gateway project that could take you into other clothing projects.

Students need to be comfortable using their sewing machine, know how to change and thread needles, and wind and change the bobbins.  They should be comfortable with both the straight stitch and zig-zag stitch.  They also need skills cutting with fabric scissors and a rotary blade.
