Upcycling Class
Join us for our first Upcycling Class! Discover creative ways to transform old clothing into something fresh, stylish, and uniquely yours.
The class begins with a brief introduction to upcycling techniques and ideas, followed by hands-on sewing time where you'll bring your vision to life. Please bring a project you’d like to reinvent: jeans, a hoodie, a flannel shirt, an old quilt, sheets, or anything else with great fabric and creative potential!
Whether you already have a design in mind or need a little inspiration, Carol will provide examples, creative guidance, and personalized instruction to help you create a one-of-a-kind piece you'll love to wear.

| Instructor Bio: | Carol has been sewing since she was seven years old, when she finally wore her mom down enough to be trusted with the “good” sewing machine and a pile of fabric scraps to make Cabbage Patch Kid clothes. She has been stitching ever since, steadily leveling up her skills and her love of all things thread and fabric. Sergers are permanent residents in her sewing room, and she especially enjoys working with knits to create comfortable, everyday clothes people actually want to wear. With a degree in Apparel Technology from Purdue University, she brings plenty of technical spark to match her creativity. She has been married to Ryan for over thirty years, and together they are raising nine amazing children, proving that “busy” is just another creative challenge. In August 2025, Ryan and Carol became the proud owners of Select Sewing, a beloved Indianapolis staple since 1953, and are excited to carry its legacy forward in the community. |
