In this workshop, you will learn how to transform your old denim jeans into a unique upcycled bag filled with your cherished trinkets and memories. Throughout the class, you will be guided on how to design and create your one-of-a-kind bag that truly represents you. Using secondhand fabrics, embellishments, and materials, we will repurpose items to create something special and environmentally friendly.
  • Bring along a pair of denim jeans in your preferred colour to determine the shade of your bag.
  • Collect trinkets that hold nostalgic memories and represent moments in your life for personalisation.
  • Decide on the design elements such as using the whole pair of jeans for a long satchel bag or opting for a tote bag with strap handles.
  • Enhance your bag with a chain belt for attaching trinkets and choosing between window pockets or mesh pockets.
Throughout the workshop, you will have the opportunity to add embellishments like name/word lettering, heart keychains, photo keychains or patches, metal studs, buttons, ribbons, and more to create a truly individualised piece. By the end of the class, you will have a beautifully upcycled denim bag filled with your personal treasures, ready to accompany you through your day, serving as a nostalgic and expressive accessory.
This is a small intimate class to hone in on upcycling skills and make connections with other individuals who share your creative and eco-friendly passion.
