Upcycling at the Mill: Hand sewing workshop
Saturday, Mar 8, 2025 @ 10:00 am - 12:30 pm
$21.05
Give new life to old textiles in this hands-on workshop at the Charles River Museum of Industry and Innovation.
With 11.5 million tons of fabric wasted annually, upcycling offers a creative way to reduce waste while learning hand sewing, embroidery, and darning techniques. Held in the historic mill where America’s textile industry began, this class connects past and present by transforming worn clothing into something new.
Bring your own fabric items and Michelle Morley (who some of you may have met as a repair volunteer with the Waltham Repair Cafe) will help you reimagine them with sustainability and creativity in mind!
Ages 12+ and adults. Space is limited. Register here.
Another session will be held on Sunday, March 29.
