KID CULTURE CREATES FOR ADULTS MAKING AN UP CYCLED DRESS

                                                             Saturday June 8th 1pm -4pm


                            MATERIALS FOR UP CYCLED GIRLS DRESS:

1.  Pick a t-shirt that fits your child nicely.  Try to avoid anything that has gathers or that is really slim fitting like a tank-top.  We are going to be playing around with several different design options so bring something that has a print on the very top of the shirt, is a solid colour, a print.

2.  Bring in 5-6 other T-shirts (we only use about 1/4 of the shirt so you can use the extra material for making additional dresses).  Bring in different colours, prints, stripes, dots, solids ect.  It is good to have variety so I would bring approx half prints and half solids.  I also recommend bringing adult sized t-shirts in as it will fit the design better.

3.  Matching and coordinating thread

*******4.  Please have your child put on the top and measure from the center front of the top of the T-shirt to where you would like the hem of the dress (sizes are approx we just do not want to make the dress to long or too short).



****WE WILL PROBABLY HAVE TIME TO MAKE AN ADDITIONAL DRESS SO FEEL FREE TO BRING IN MATERIALS FOR A SECOND DRESS 

Additional tools:  Sewing machine, sewing needles, scissors, pins, tailors chalk, 

If you have a rotary cutter, grid ruler and rotary mat this would also be helpful (I will be bringing some in but we will have to share).

Cost $60.00
       Space is limited so book in advance to ensure availability
