RcyCouture Design. What’s in your closet that you have not worn for years? Bring in your old sweaters, jackets, pants and skirts to our recycling class for help figuring out how to remake it into something you or someone you know would love! Learn to alter garments that you’d wear if only they fit right. Come get help with ideas for completely remaking one garment into another more useful article of clothing or accessory. Depending on your schedule take a 3 hour class or a 6 hour class to get even more done!
