A Thousand Ways to Wear / TShirt Upcycle
Maker Faire Bay Area 2023
October 13th-22nd
THE RETURN OF MAKER FAIRE BAY AREA! 1000 Ways to Wear: miss velvet cream Neocouture presentation of wearable outfits made from upcycled Tshirts. The pieces are all made from past year's deadstock Maker Faire Bay Area shirts. These 5 outfits are presented on a series of femme sewing dressforms, sized from 4-12. Remake of deadstock (produced but unworn, unsold pieces) transforms waste into a garment given new life and a new story. These pieces are all wild, extravagant miss velvet cream creations, all upcycled- cut, stitched, ruffled, flounced, ripped, tied, layered, embellished, stretched, and stitched again. These outfits are all sustainable fashion, handmade, and infused with meaning and value from the simplest TShirts. Let's dream together what we could wear in the future, today!
