Join our 3-hour one-session class and discover how to alter your own clothes and

clothing, accessories, and home decor. This workshop is designed for Advanced
Beginners or those who have taken our Sewing 101 course and want to further enhance
their sewing skills.

Prerequisite: General knowledge on how to use a sewing machine OR having taken our
Sewing 101 course. We unfortunately will not have time to go over the beginner basics
in this class.

Class Structure:
Hands On Experience: Learn how to hem your own jeans and get that perfect fit! Tailor
a mens button down to get the exact style you want! This project will guide you into the
world of altering your clothes to your body. The fashion industry's standard sizing
doesn’t cater to every body type, so take your vision and style into your own hands!
Whether your end goal is to make clothing, bags, or other fun projects, these versatile
skills will aid you for many years to come.

Class Details:
REQUIRED MATERIALS: You MUST bring your own pair of pants that you would like
to hem shorter and/or take the waistband in, as well as a mens button down shirt that
fits your chest that can be taken in elsewhere. We will not provide the garments for you.

Materials Provided: Sewing machines, thread, scissors, and other essential sewing
tools for use during class.

Class Size: Maximum 4 participants to ensure personalized attention and guidance.
If you bring your own machine, please be certain that it is in good working order. We
