What you'll do

By fostering creativity, we can collectively reduce textile waste and promote a more sustainable and circular fashion culture.

Over this class, we will cover a variety of techniques to creatively reuse textile waste and second-hand clothing to transform them into unique, handmade bags. Every participant will engage in hands-on activities suited to their interests and skill levels.

Over the workshop, you learn all or some of the following skills, depending on your project:

Sewing and joining seams on various materials, both by hand or with the help of a sewing machine
How to embellish through embroidery, beading, appliqué
Various embroidery stitches
Creating sewable patches from waste materials
Creative ways of rethinking textile waste to design functional and stylish bags
How to operate and thread a domestic sewing machine

Other important things:

We have an abundance of waste textiles, but feel free to BYO garment/textiles/random waste materials

Please BYO sewing machine if your project requires it, though one machine will be provided to share

In case of leftover textiles and offcuts, they will be sent to UPPAREL for recycling.

We use hand embroidery, mending, and creative embellishments to give worn-out clothes a new life, turning them into unique, wearable pieces. Every customer receives a personalized consultation to ensure their garment's story is preserved and enhanced. Our custom service extends the life of clothes and helps reduce waste.

In addition to our custom work, Moka offers an in-house collection of hand-stitched organic cotton tees.
