Reviews
A course by Flor Tregnaghi
Flor Tregnaghi's family had a fabric store in Argentina, which is why she was born among patchwork and learned to sew even before writing. He was a finalist in the “Getxo moda” contest for future promises from the world of fashion, and won a scholarship to study at Central Saint Martins for the Biaaf international contest. After working with a friend on a project called Cosecanal, she is now embarking on her own creative workshop: Paulatim.
Paulatim is her personal creative workshop, where she designs garments, advises on pattern making and teaches sewing to anyone who wants to create their own clothes and take care of their garments by giving them a new life. It is a meeting space, but also for environmental awareness.
