Upcycle a Favorite Sweatshirt or T-Shirt Workshop

Do you have a favorite sweatshirt or t-shirt that’s ripped, frayed, or otherwise in need of a little TLC? Or do you just like the idea of turning an ordinary piece of clothing into something extraordinary? In this playful, hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to bring your sweatshirts or t-shirts to life—or back to life—by exploring the creative art of reverse appliqué embroidery.

In just a few hours, fiber artist Jeannie Thomma will teach you simple stitching and appliqué methods that can add fun and expressive embellishments to a well-loved or new garment. Whether you’re covering a tear or a stain, reinforcing high-wear areas, or just adding flair to a garment, this workshop blends practicality with creativity, helping you extend the life of your wardrobe while developing your own signature style.

No prior sewing experience needed!
