              Perfectly good denim deserves a second life!!!


              Take a pair of old skinny jeans and turn them into something completely different—a fun, flirty ruffle mini skirt you'll actually want to wear.


              In this hands-on upcycling class, we'll deconstruct the legs of a pair of skinny jeans and transform that forgotten denim into a one-of-a-kind skirt. You'll learn how to work with existing seams, reshape denim, create ruffles, and turn something destined for the donation pile into a brand-new wardrobe piece.


              MATERIAL IS NOT PROVIDED

              ALSO TO BRING: 1 pair of denim jeans, try to refrain from heavily destressed denim.
