COURSE LESSONS

Great For Beginners

This was a fun beginner project to upcycling. This was my first time upcycling and I found the video really great as an introduction. I love my new jorts and I'm proud to say I made them!

Fun course for a simple upcycling project. I did this course recently to a pair of my jeans that were scuffed at the hems and I am really pleased with the result. The video was really easy to follow and Holly shared great tips!
