Our first Sewing Machine 101 class was this Wednesday! A brave group of new sewists learned all about the different parts of the machine, explored the unique features of our collection of donated machines, and got stitching! This class is a great primer for all who are interested in sewing but feel intimidated by sewing machines, and provides a fun, low-stress environment for people to play around with the machines and start feeling comfortable and confident using them. We will be offering more project-based sewing classes in the future, so make sure to take this class first so you'll be ready to tackle all the projects you're excited about!

Next Sewing Machine 101 class: Thursday, June 25th from 7-9pm. Reserve your spot today at the "Adult Workshops" link in our bio!

We wrapped up the April run of Pants to Bag Beginner Sewing Series a few weeks ago, and check out these results! All of these incredible crafters came into the series as complete beginners, and left having turned pairs of pants into fully custom tote bags they’ll use again and again. They reattached patch pockets and labels, decided on custom bag dimensions, lengthened welt pockets to accommodate waterbottles, added keychain loops, and more!

This series is such a fun one for us to offer, and we can’t wait to see what the next round of sewers create!

Comment below: when should we offer the next series? What other kinds of upcycled sewing classes would you like to see us offer?

Heads up! Maker Break is cancelled this Friday, 5/1. We will be back next week, 5/8, for more community crafting!

NOTE: Under the signup system we use, we had to add "appointment times" in order to allow multiple people to book Maker Break for the same day. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO COME IN AT THE TIME OF YOUR APPOINTMENT. You can come in anytime during the 4-6pm window, and stay as long as you like. This is just so we can allow multiple people to join us. Please email programs@upcyclecrc.org with any questions!

Sign up for your next Maker Break session at the link in our bio!

Do you love sorting and organizing? Do you want to be the first set of eyes on fresh donations as they come in? Come volunteer with us!

UpCycle is always looking for regular volunteers at our materials center. Our donations and materials handlers sort and shelve donations, assess the overall organization of the shop, and ensure that the donations we accept are clean and damage free. Be the first to see new materials as they come in and play a critical role in keeping UpCycle running smoothly and efficiently.

Check out the VOLUNTEER page on our website to learn more and fill out our Volunteer Interest Form! We will hold our next Volunteer Training session at the end of May.
