The workshop in detail
Discover upcycled sewing with Jeanne!
Upon your arrival, you'll be warmly welcomed by this passionate artisan.
After introductions, she'll start by explaining the theoretical basics of sewing. Don't worry if you're a beginner or an enthusiast – Jeanne will take the time to detail the different tools and techniques that will be useful for this session. She will also introduce you to the principles and values of zero-waste sewing.
Then it's your turn! You'll first choose your favourite blanket, which will be given a second life as it's transformed into a handbag. There will be many options in terms of colours and patterns from the artisan's carefully prepared selection!
Guided by Jeanne, you'll then move on to cutting the fabric using a pattern, and then hand-sewing your creation. Jeanne will be by your side throughout, offering advice and help when needed.
Once the finishing touches are done, you'll leave with your beautiful, unique upcycled handbag, eager to wear it as a memento of this wonderful creative experience!

Meet Jeanne
Stylist
Jeanne, who's always had a passion for fashion, studied styling and pattern making at HELMO Mode in Belgium. There, she gained an extensive technical knowledge of garments, through both pattern-making classes and organising fashion shows.
After an initial foray into the fast-fashion industry during an internship, Jeanne became aware of the ethical issues pervading the sector. This led her to explore alternative solutions to counteract the over-consumption and waste associated with clothing production.
She embraced the dan-sha-ri method, a concept originating from a Japanese term meaning "to refuse, to discard, to detach." This approach is focused on fundamentally altering our relationship with objects.
Committed and in love with her profession, Jeanne now operates from her studio in Belgium. Her mission? To harmonise fashion with responsibility, and to help everyone rediscover the joy of dressing, while also contributing to more sustainable consumption practices.
