The Loft - Teen Center

Customize t-shirts using no-sew methods, hand sewing techniques, and sewing machine basics. T-shirts will be provided, but feel free to bring your own!

Tired of the clothes in your closet, but don't want to spend any money? Upcycling is a smart option to give your outfits an upgrade. 

In our very first upcycle club, we will be altering a classic wardrobe staple: t-shirts!  You may want to make your t-shirt shorter, thrash it up and distress it, or make it more tailored to your body.

We'll look at various no-sew techniques, as well as ways of altering your t-shirt whether you're sewing by hand or machine.  

Bring your own t-shirt or use one of ours. All other materials will be provided, and no registration is necessary.

For more information, contact Jenna at jjones@nlrlibrary.org.
