Who hasn't got a few nice garments in their wardrobe that you love, but do not wear, because they just don't fit that well?
Maybe you've lost or gained some weight, made some bad online choices, or perhaps some impulse shopping therapy?
Or perhaps you have growing and changing kids bodies that constantly need adjustments?
This is the perfect beginners class to learn HOW to alter your clothes.
PART 1 of the session.
In this class we will do some basic common alterations starting with hemming.
We will measure, mark, prepare, cut and sew two most common hems, basic hem and invisible (blind) hem.
PART 2 of the session.
In the second part of the class we will have a look at your item of choice (from your wardrobe) that needs adjustment.
Depending on complexity of the task we can either alter it during the class or give you clear markings and guidelines to make it easy for you to alter it yourself at home.
Please bring along a garment you would like to learn how to alter. Options can include;
1 Hem options (trouser, skirt, dress, uniform, silk, roll hem (not overlock), bias hem, ideally marked already or easy to try on for marking.
2 Take in trousers or a skirt waist.
3 Take in trouser legs.
4 Take in a simple dress (no lining, beading or sequin, or gathering).
5 Shoulder or strap adjustment on sleeveless garment.
Please note:
Materials for the first half of this class will be provided for you.
When it comes to bringing a piece from home and if you are a beginner - please avoid bringing stretchy or slippery fabrics for this class
Please Note: This class will be held in Studio 2 which is upstairs and unfortunately does not have wheelchair access.
