Upcycled tee shirt tote bags

Posted

HONESDALE, PA —­ On Thursday, February 12, Rachael Arnone of “bachestinks” will lead “DIY: Upcycled Tee Shirt Tote Bags,” the first installment in a new a do-it-yourself workshop series presented by The Cooperage Project. The class will run from 7 to 9 p.m. at The Cooperage, located at 1030 Main St.

The workshop will focus on transforming a tee shirt into a tote bag. Arnone will guide participants through the steps needed to create the bag. No sewing experience is necessary to attend this class. In addition to making a bag or two, plan to learn about the art of sewing and how to improve your skills.

Arnone is a self taught seamstress born and raised in Honesdale. She sews under the name “bachestinks” and specializes in kitchenware and accessories that are handcrafted from vintage, recycled and found materials.

Arnone suggests that each participant bring two or three tee shirts to the class. Small and medium tee shirts will make a good size grocery bag while large and extra large tee shirts will make a good size laundry bag. There will be a prize for the coolest tee shirt.

The suggested donation is $10 per class. Sewing machines will be provided. The Cooperage is operated by the The Cooperage Project, a 501c3 not-for-profit organization that seeks to build community through performance, learning and good times.
