We began by talking about the environmental, social, and financial benefits to fashion hacking, and then moved right into hands-on hacking! 35196937845_1bdfbbabe4_z

For this workshop, we focused on thinking about the anatomy of clothing – the different fabric pieces that make up clothes, and how those pieces can be adjusted and rearrange to create new items. People ended up making bags, shirts, skirts, backpacks, and even wigs!
