The “Up-cycle Your Clothes” event drew 45 people to the Hub Monday. The event allowed participants to revamp their old clothes and breathe new life into them.

Resident Adviser Sara Taggart, 22, senior of Harrisburg, stated she wanted people to get out of their dorms and be happy with the new look they made with their own clothing.

“I just know a lot of people who are not happy with their clothes,” she said, “oh, let’s just do something where they can keep their clothes but make them look new.”

The participants also contended with decorating their old pieces of clothes to make them look more creative.

“I like this event because I have done this before with one of my shirts. It then became my favorite one,” Sarah Peek, 20, junior of Colorado Springs, said.

RLA events will continue next week with Adulting 101 Laundry Tuesday 3 p.m. and a Kahoot night Wednesday 7 p.m..  Both will be  in the Hub.
