Make! Mend! Upcycle! Sew your own clothes! Save the planet! In this intensive, students will: 

• Use sewing machines and hand sewing techniques to create and mend garments/bags
• Understand how the fashion and textile industry contributes to climate change and labor exploitation
• Explore unpaid domestic labor and the patriarchal divide between art and craft

Start the week sewing rectangles, end the week with RIGHTEOUS ANGER and skills to funnel that passion into self expression. 

PSCS will provide thread, sewing machines, needed machine accessories, and fabric for smaller projects. Students are encouraged to utilize second hand non-stretch fabrics/materials for projects (including materials sourced from home, I’m looking at you flannel shirt I grew out of!). Students will be given a small stipend to “shop” at our field trip to Seattle ReCreative.
