Unwanted FC
#UnwantedFC
We’re Keith and Kevin, twin brothers who founded Unwanted FC in late 2018 to challenge the sport and fashion industries by giving unwanted garments a second life. After years working in these industries, we saw firsthand how much waste was being left behind. That’s when we turned to upcycling—giving once-loved garments a new chapter at the end of their lifecycle. From everyday carry-wear to functional wearables, we transform sporting gear into creative, yet functional, designs.

Live Upcycling Demo: Tote Bag Transformation
We’re offering a hands-on upcycling experience where you can bring a pre-loved sports top and work with us to transform it into a reworked tote bag. Each piece takes about 30 minutes, and you’ll be part of the cutting, stitching, and sewing as your garment gets a new life.
Limited spots of only 8 participants. Book Now!.

Upcycling Workshop: Design Your Own Wallet (No Sewing Needed)
We’re running a 45-minute workshop where you can design and assemble your own wallet using off-cut jersey fabrics from past projects. We’ll guide you through the process—no sewing experience needed—and you’ll walk away with a one-of-a-kind piece you made yourself.
20 participants per session, pre-registration required.

Repair Workshop: Learn to Stitch and Fix
In this 45-minute session, we’ll teach you the basics of garment repair. You’ll learn how to replace buttons, stitch small holes, and shorten sleeves or pants. We’ll provide all the sewing kits—just bring yourself, and together we’ll help you gain confidence in keeping clothes in play.
