The Difference Between Sewing Classes and Upcycling Workshop

If you’re thinking of starting with sewing, you might be wondering: should I join a class or start with a workshop? I offer both here in Berlin, and each one fits a different kind of learner or schedule. So I made this post to break it down:

	Creative Sewing And Upcycling Classes	Beginner Upcycling Workshop
FORMAT	2 hour weekly sessions	3 hour session
APPROACH	Longer term learning at your own pace	Guided group format, limited time to finish
WHAT YOU DO	Design & sew your own clothes, different projects based on your goals	Bring clothes from home, redesign + sew one upcycled piece
LEVEL	All levels welcome	Beginners Mainly
WHAT YOU BRING	Clothes to upcycle, or materials to design sth new	Several clothes to alter so we can choose the best project
GROUP SIZE	4ppl	4ppl
BEST FOR	Building skills over time, build a creative outlet	Try it out, fun with friends, gift experience
PRICE	€160 x4 classes	€75 once-off
WHEN	Tuesdays and Wednesdays 18.00 - 20.00 (Check classes page for schedule)	Twice a month Thursday 17.30 to 20.30 Saturday 12.00 to 15.00

Creative Sewing And Upcycling Classes

• They are 2 hour weekly sessions where you learn how to design and sew your own clothes from a longer term approach.

• You’ll work on different projects, at your own pace, focus on what you want to learn, improve your skills over time.

• Ideal if you’re looking for a creative outlet routine, and longer term progress.

• €160 for 4 classes

• Tuesdays and Wednesdays 18.00 - 20.00 (Check classes page for schedule).

Beginner Upcycling Workshop

• It’s a one-time, 3 hour intensive experience where you bring clothes to alter from home, I show you how to design and prep, use the sewing machine, and leave with a finished new piece.

• All 4 participants work on their own projects, but at the same rythm following the 3 hour timeframe.

• Great if you want to give it a try with no commitment, or just to have a fun experience with like minded people, or with your loved ones, or as a gift.

• €75 per person

• Happens twice a month, one Thursday 17.30 to 20.30, and one Saturday 12.00 to 15.00 a month.
