Turn it UP!! Upcycling basics invites anyone in Nashville to rethink their wardrobe through practical sewing and design. Located at Pop-UP Studio, Nashville, TN, this 2.5-hour workshop focuses on hands-on mending and creative rework: making buttonholes, setting darts, replacing zippers, and adding embellishments to transform garments. The class suits beginners and intermediates and runs in small groups—up to eight guests—so you get individual attention while sharing ideas with other makers.
The session is driven by projects you bring and questions you send beforehand, so the instructor tailors the lesson plan to your needs. Key features include guided machine and hand techniques, pattern shaping via darts, structural repair through zipper replacement, and surface design with appliqué or trims. That combination makes the workshop less about rigid curriculum and more about practical problem solving: fixing what you already own and learning ways to extend a garment’s life.
This class is a local asset to Nashville’s hands-on craft scene because it bridges repair culture with accessible instruction. Instead of buying new, you learn skills that reduce textile waste and save money—skills increasingly important in a city where makers and musicians prize unique, wearable style. Pop-UP Studio’s small scale and flexible agenda make the studio a low-pressure place to learn, exchange tips, and finish a wearable project by the end of the session.
Why book it? Expect a focused, efficient introduction to essential upcycling moves that have immediate payoff. Everyone leaves with tangible skills: a working buttonhole, a sewn dart that improves fit, a replaced zipper, or a personalized embellishment. The workshop also builds confidence to approach more complicated DIY projects and connects you to local fabric sources and repair networks in Nashville.
Practical notes: the minimum age is ten, so it’s a good intergenerational activity. Bring the garment you want to alter and any reference photos; the instructor asks for your goals ahead of class. If you have a sewing machine, check with the host whether to bring it—many classes supply machines but capacity is limited. Whether you’re mending a favorite jacket or learning a new creative habit, Turn it UP!! offers a short, concentrated way to change how you see your closet and keep good clothes in circulation.
Sessions often include demonstrations of both hand and machine stitches, with time set aside for each attendee to practice under supervision. Expect direct feedback on fit and construction, plus quick lessons on choosing thread weight, stabilizers and suitable needle types for different fabrics. The class emphasizes repair-first thinking: patching techniques, invisible mending, and creative upcycling that preserves original character. You will leave with notes and a clearer plan for future alterations, and contacts for local suppliers and community mending circles to keep learning regularly.
Minimum age is 10; younger teens should be comfortable with basic hand skills and focused for the duration.
No—this class is beginner/intermediate friendly; bring specific goals and the instructor will adapt instruction.
Many classes supply machines but capacity varies—check with the host if you plan to bring your own.
Bring the garment you want to alter, any reference photos, and a small sewing kit if you have one.
