Give your sweaters a second life! With the felting machine, pre-owned sweaters are given a fresh makeover. The possibilities for creativity are endless!
Old sweaters don’t have to be discarded— with a little creativity and the right technique, they can become unique designer pieces! In this workshop, you will learn how to use the felting machine to refresh your pre-owned sweaters and give them a whole new look. Whether it's modern patterns, playful appliqués, or artistic textures, there are no limits to your imagination!
After a brief introduction to the technique of up-felting, you can dive in and start experimenting. Under expert guidance, you will learn which materials work best, how to design patterns, and what effects different felting techniques can achieve. Whether you want to add subtle accents or completely transform a sweater—anything is possible here!
This workshop is perfect for anyone looking to combine sustainability with creativity. Instead of throwing away clothes, you’ll give your favorite pieces a second life and turn them into true one-of-a-kind creations. At the end of the workshop, you'll not only take home a newly redesigned sweater, but also plenty of ideas and inspiration for future projects.
Join us and discover the possibilities of up-felting—we look forward to seeing you!
