Students today are growing up in a "disposable" society. Many products that they see on store shelves are single use items, that are tossed away without a thought once they have served an immediate purpose. Often times no thought is given to the carbon footprint being left by this trend.
This class gives students the skills needed to "Upcycle" outdated, or unwanted, textiles that would have made their way into a landfill if not given new life and purpose. Students will be using a combination of hand and machine sewing to turn donated items into products that serve a specific function.
We will take old jeans and make tool belts for our "Makers" class, dress shirts will be transformed into aprons for our "Cooking class, and old fuzzy sweaters will find new life as animal beds which will be donated to local shelters through our "Pets" class.
The major focus of this class is giving students an opportunity to see that items that may be viewed as disposable by one person can be re-purposed and reused by another, helping our environment in the process.
