Alterations Workshop
Got pants that need hemming or taking in? Or a hole that needs to be fixed on your favorite shirt? This absolute beginner class will cover how to use a home sewing machine and teach students how to do basic alterations and mending on their own.
In our Alterations class, students will learn the basics of using a home sewing machine - how to get set up, sewing workstation ergonomics, how to thread a machine, how to wind a bobbin, and using a straight stitch. We will then go over how to measure an alteration, how to do a basic hemming alteration (shortening), how to take in side seams and a basic fusible fabric patch - on your clothes! You'll leave this workshop with the knowledge and skills to do your own basic alterations in the future.
For this workshop, students are highly encouraged to bring their own clothing to alter. Before altering clothing, or if you are unable to bring your own clothes to alter, we will be practicing on other fabric.
Workshop fee includes practice fabric, usage of sewing machines, tools and notions, and white or black thread for your project.
