Denim Remade & Reimagined Workshop
Saturday November 7, 10am - 4pm.
Preparing for the Workshop
If thrifting jeans for the workshop, consider your size, personal style, and the type of garment you would like to create. The teacher will provide sample garments for everyone to try on, so you can explore different styles and fits and get a sense of what will work best for you. The teacher will provide scrap fabric and supplemental yardage for each participant, as well as a sewing kit with thread, needles, and other essential supplies.
How Many Pairs of Jeans Should I Bring?
Please bring 2–6 pairs of jeans, preferably 100% cotton denim. The number of pairs you’ll need depends on the garment you’d like to make:
Dress: 6 pairs
Top with sleeves: 3 pairs
Top without sleeves: 2 pairs
For inspiration, be sure to check out Sharon’s Instagram page to see examples of the denim garments she has created and get an idea of what you could potentially make during the workshop. We’ll also be sharing a preparation video from the teacher with all enrolled participants before the workshop. This will help you come prepared and make the most of your time in the workshop.
