About this class
At the upcycling workshop in Esslingen, you bring old pieces of clothing and transform them into unique fashion items under expert guidance. Designer Nico — a trained men's tailor and internationally experienced fashion stylist — accompanies you step by step: from the creative idea to the cut adjustment to the finished piece of clothing. You will learn how to use industrial sewing machines, overlock and special machines, get tips on the choice of materials and design, and discover how to make a new statement from second-hand.
