Join this denim upcycling workshop in London and give your old jean jacket or shirt a cool, new look. You'll learn fun, easy ways to transform worn-out denim into trendy, one-of-a-kind fashion pieces that breathe new life into your wardrobe.
This hands-on session is led by designer and maker Kala Paul-Worika, who'll share her expertise in sustainable style. Kala uses vibrant offcuts from her African print home decor and clothing collections to help you reimagine your denim. Whether you're a DIY beginner or a seasoned crafting pro, this workshop is a low-pressure space to explore your creativity and embrace eco-friendly fashion.
During the class, you'll focus on:
  • Refresh your style – Learn how to use colourful fabric patches to hide wear and tear or simply add a pop of personality to your clothes.
  • Master the techniques – Get guided, step-by-step help from Kala on the best ways to attach patches securely and stylishly.
  • Sustainable creation – Discover the joy of upcycling and how to reduce waste by repurposing what you already own.
You'll need to bring at least one piece of denim to work on during the session. While plenty of beautiful fabric patches will be provided, you're more than welcome to bring any specific scraps of your own that you'd like to use. To keep the creative energy high, light refreshments will be available throughout the workshop.
By the time you've finished, you'll feel inspired by your new skills and ready to continue your sustainable fashion journey at home. You'll head away with a refreshed, custom garment and the confidence to turn any old favorite into a modern masterpiece.

Having my own business is the chance to bring my love of African print and ankara fabric to a wider audience.
It all began with evenings making bibs on my sewing machine in the dining room – creating unique handmade gifts for friends and family.
What first started as a welcome break from the pressures of the office, soon turned into a passion to introduce the vibrancy and versatility of the material to an appreciative customer base.
Now my brand By Kala X is a thriving clothing and home decor brand, while I also share my skills through a variety of workshops - from Make Your Own Lampshade to upcycling denim sessions.
I've taken my workshops to both schools and large corporations, where they have been received very positively.
