Montclair State students embraced sustainable fashion during the Sew Sustainable Clothing Repair Workshop on October 28, gathering in the Student Center to repair, customize and upcycle their clothing.
Hosted by the Office of Sustainability, Theatre and Dance Costume Shop, Fashion Design and Merchandising, and Rocky’s Closet, the event offered students hands-on opportunities to extend the life of their wardrobes. With sewing machines, hand-sewing supplies and volunteer staff and students available to assist, participants learned new skills while transforming existing garments into something uniquely their own.
From clothing repairs and creative customizations to DIY Halloween costumes, the workshop encouraged Red Hawks to rethink fashion, reduce waste and discover new possibilities in the clothes they already own.
Through initiatives like Sew Sustainable, Montclair State continues to promote creativity and sustainability in everyday life.
