Sew Sustainable: Eco-Friendly & Beginner Sewing Workshop Series for Kids!

The Sew Sustainable Workshop Series is a hands-on sewing program that introduces students to sustainability through creative, practical projects. Each workshop begins with a short guided discussion about an environmental topic such as reducing plastic waste, repurposing materials, and minimizing textile waste. Students complete a quick interactive worksheet to stay engaged, then apply what they learned by sewing an eco-friendly project.

Throughout the series, students explore how small choices like using reusable bags, repurposing clothing, and avoiding single-use plastics,

can help protect the environment while learning foundational sewing skills.

Projects in the series include:

• Reusable tote bag with natural plant-based dyes made from food scraps

• Drawstring produce pouch with upcycled t-shirt string ties to reduce plastic produce bags
