Overview

Save Big on Coursera Plus. 7,000+ courses at $160 off. Limited Time Only!
Description Project Upcycle shows you thrifting and garment construction techniques that you’ll use again and again. You need basic sewing skills — and an eagle eye for the good stuff at rummage sales — to make projects like cute cashmere shrugs from old sweaters and flirtatious wrap skirts from vintage tea towels. Celebrate your exit from the corporate world and liberate your suit jackets and dress shirts into saucy berets. With Betz’s upcycling magic, your shirt cuffs become billfolds to hold the cash you save, and you’ll learn endless variations on felted totes, limited only by your imagination and your stash of old wool sweaters.nnWatch each lesson in Project Upcycle on your own schedule, at your own pace, as many times as you like. If you enjoy creating unique looks that are simple, sustainable and fun, sign up for Project Upcycle: Thrifty Sewing Projects.
