Pants and Pockets - Designers will create an outfit that features trousers and pockets from reused fabrics of their choice. Birthday Party - Designers will create an outfit to wear to a party from reused fabrics of their choice. Shoddy Challenge - Designers will create a piece of clothing or a home goods item that incorporates shoddy (fabric donated by Bainbridge Islanders that was shredded) that we provide as a significant part of the design. Rotary Remix Challenge - Designers will create a piece of clothing or home goods from materials that ReFashion collected from past Rotary Rummage Sales: choice of felted sweaters, upholstery fabric, curtain fabric, or yarn. Mystery Box Challenge—We will have a sew-in day March 29, 2026, 10am-5pm, maximum of 14 participants, at the Bainbridge Artisan Resource Network (BARN). At this challenge, designers will be presented with a box of curated materials at the start of the day. They will have the day to create an outfit alone or in a team. Items not finished by the end of the day will need to be completed by walk-through day, tentatively scheduled for April 22 at the BI Museum of Art.
