Shirt to Bag: An Upcycling Workshop by Barley's Bloset × Slow Sew Studio

Shirt to Bag Upcycling Workshop

Join Barley's Bloset and Slow Sew Studio for a creative morning of sewing, sustainability, and slow fashion.

Learn how to transform an old button-up shirt or blazer into a unique, functional tote bag. Whether you're new to sewing or have some experience, we'll guide you through the process step by step in a relaxed and welcoming environment.

Instead of letting clothing go to waste, discover how easy it is to give your garments a second life while learning practical sewing skills.

Your ticket includes:

• A guided upcycling workshop
• Use of sewing machines and all sewing equipment
• Tea and a pastry
• Your finished handmade bag to take home

What to bring:

• One button-up shirt or blazer (adult size works best)
• A sewing machine (if you have one)

Please note: Every bag will be unique and will depend on the shirt or blazer you bring.

Tickets: R350 per person

Spaces are limited to ensure everyone receives plenty of guidance, so early booking is recommended.

We can't wait to sew, create, and give old clothes a new purpose with you!
