 Upsackled will be hosting a free Upsackling class at the third annual Mountain Girl Experience. We are going to be having an Upsackling class here at Upsackled and so not a lot of people really understand what Upsackling is or the importance of it and so what we're hoping to accomplish this weekend is to not only hold your hand and guide you through making a super cool little tote bag but also to spread a little bit of knowledge and education about the importance of Upsackling and taking something that is already existing second hand maybe heading towards the trash maybe something that's got some holes in it or some stains and we can take that and give it a second laugh and just try to keep those things from becoming waste. Cancer it's a very scary word but an outstanding treatment facility was here at home. I was led to the Lawson Cancer Center. As a nurse practitioner at the Lawson Cancer Center we are champions for our patients. I am so happy for Robert the treatment worked. During the event attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions interact with black-minded individuals and gain valuable insights into the world of Upsackling. What we're going to do is we're going to just take the t-shirt and we're going to make a couple of cuts and we'll guide you through that process and then we're just going to flip it upside down turn it inside out and take needle and thread and just do a really simple little hand stitch at the bottom to give us that not secure bottom to our bag. In an era of fast fashion and disposable consumerism the need to address textile waste has become increasingly urgent. This class is completely free the only cost you would be out is if you wanted to purchase one of our t-shirts here however you can definitely bring your own so we do have a limited number of seats so be sure to get here early and bring your t-shirt and just be ready to hang out and learn about why it's important to be conscientious about the waste that we're creating and reusing materials anytime that's a possibility.
