July 2016 Recycled Clothing

¿Cómo podemos reutilizar la ropa vieja para crear nuevos estilos?
How can we reuse old clothing to create new styles?
Even though Fashion Week is a couple of months away, Mi Casita students will be prepping for
the runway! We are challenging students to create new use of old clothing. How can we
appreciate what we have and repurpose it for new use? Through studying design, art, and
nature, Mi Casita students will develop personal wardrobes using recycled materials and
recycled clothing. Throughout the month students will learn different techniques clothing design.
Please bring in any old clothing that you no longer want so we can use it to make new
products! We look forward to seeing a fashion show at the end of the month!
