Located in the heart of Ljubljana, Slovenia, the Naredite si majico v Anselmi experience is a hands-on dive into sustainable fashion with a personal touch. Set in the creative space of Anselma on Kolodvorska ulica 6, this workshop invites visitors to craft a unique t-shirt from discarded textiles under expert guidance. This isn’t just a craft class—it’s a chance to reimagine what clothing can be by upcycling forgotten materials from local sewing ateliers and fabric remnants once belonging to Ljubljana’s grandmothers.
The workshop welcomes beginners and seasoned makers alike, offering step-by-step mentorship in small groups capped at six participants. Over three hours, you’ll explore the art of combining colors, patterns, and fabric types, learning how to piece together a t-shirt that’s truly one of a kind. The tactile process of sewing and assembly breathes new life into materials that might otherwise be tossed aside, creating a meaningful alternative to the world of fast fashion.
