What is Denim Dreams Lab?

A one-day creative experience where young designers reimagine, redesign and repurpose denim like the pros—cutting, painting, embroidering, and embellishing jeans, jackets, and denim scraps into bold, stylish pieces. Students can bring denim items from home or choose from our curated stash of pre-loved denim to transform. (Note: sizes and styles are limited to whatever we have on that day)

This lab is perfect for friends to hang out, explore their creativity, and walk away with a fresh, fashion-forward piece that’s anything but off the rack.

Creative Stations Include:

• Paint & Print: Add custom graphics and hand-painted designs
• Patch & Appliqué: Use stitched fabric or iron-on patches to add flair
• Embroidery: Stitch names, symbols, or borders with colorful thread
• Cut & Reconstruct: Make wide-leg jeans, raw hems, or transform denim pants into denim skirts
• Bag It: Use leftover denim scraps to design a pouch, or make an accessory

Why Join:

• ✨ Hands-on fashion fun in a studio setting
• 👯 Perfect for creative friends who want to design together
• 🧵 Build real skills in sewing, styling, and DIY creative problem-solving thinking
• 👖 Create a one-of-a-kind denim piece to wear or gift a friend
• 💡 Learn to upcycle—turn old clothes into something bold, wearable, and uniquely you
