Class Description
Do you have items in your wardrobe that remain unworn due to minor adjustments needed or perhaps they need some repairs?
This clothing alteration class will equip you with the essential skills to alter or repair your garments. It is an excellent way to save money and extend the longevity of your clothing. You will learn techniques such as adjusting hems to modify the length of a garment, and altering seams to achieve a better fit if that is the adjustments you need. Additionally, if you like you will be taught how to replace broken zippers in skirts, trousers, or jeans. The class also offers opportunities to remake and restyle favourite garments or vintage pieces.
Is this course right for me?
This class is not suitable for beginners. You will need to have a good knowledge and confidence when using a sewing a machine or have attended the absolute beginners workshop. Ideally you will have made some simple items of clothing in the past.
Please note: this is not a private lesson and you should be able to follow basic instructions and work independently.
What do I need to bring?
Please bring two or more articles of clothing that you would like to alter along with matching thread. We will work through them together. Avoid bringing items that are too advanced for your skill level or very expensive. You may bring projects that are already pinned and ready to go.
What’s included?
- Use of all tools and equipment.
- Tea and Coffee.
