About the Class
Got clothes in your wardrobe that don't quite fit, need shortening or could do with a little update? This five-week course will teach you how to alter and adjust your clothes so you can get more wear out of the things you already own. Rather than following set projects, the course will be guided by the garments you bring along and what you'd like to learn. I'll help you work through your alterations, teaching you the techniques you need along the way. What Can I Bring? Bring along a selection of garments you'd like to alter. In the first week, we'll discuss everyone's projects, explore what's possible and plan what you'd like to work on over the five weeks. The course will be led by the interests of the group, so we'll focus on the alterations you want to learn. If you're looking for ideas, you could bring: Trousers or jeans that need shortening Skirts and dresses that need hemming Garments that need taking in or letting out Waistbands or sleeves that need adjusting Clothes that need simple repairs or small fixes These are just a few ideas. Please note that wedding dresses, evening gowns and other complex formalwear aren't suitable for this course. How the Course Works Over five weeks, you'll work on your chosen garments with guidance, learning how to plan alterations, improve fit and achieve neat finishes. As everyone works on different projects, you'll also have the opportunity to learn from each other's alterations. What You'll Need Please bring your garments and usual sewing kit, including fabric scissors, pins, a tape measure, fabric markers and an unpicker. You can bring your own sewing machine or use one of the studio machines. If you're unsure whether a garment is suitable, please get in touch before booking.
