RETHINK what fashion can be.
Upcycled Designs Made to Last:
Kristen McCoy (AKA the Upcycler) believes in locally designed and sewn products that are made to last. Shop Kristen’s designs online, OR email to schedule a shopping appointment at the Studio inside of Nine Lives Thrift (1165 W 7th St, St. Paul).
All designs are harvested from damaged garments from the community and secondhand/deadstock fabrics, and EVERYTHING is sewn ethically in Minnesota.
Have damaged jeans, t-shirts, sweatshirts or unwanted fabrics you want to donate from upcycling? Email info@rethinktailoring.com to organize a dropoff!
Learn from Kristen:
Kristen is taking the leap, focusing on her upcycled designs and stepping away from tailoring for clients. However, a huge passion for Kristen is teaching, and she is continuing training others how to tailor, upcycle, mend their wardrobes through Private Lessons. If you would like to learn from Kristen, email info@rethinktailoring.com about private lessons, or subscribe to the email list at the bottom of the page for updates on workshops and events.
One of her favorite private lessons is the 1 hour Meet Your Machine Class, where Kristen helps students learn the basics on their machine, BUT more importantly get past the fear of a new tool.
