About the Class
Do your jeans gape at the back waist, or is the waistband too tight? Take this class and learn methods for making your pants fit better.
SKILLS REQUIRED:
Sewing 101 thru 104 or equivalent skills. You must be familiar with operating a sewing machine and sewing a straight and curved seam to take this class. Instructor will not have time for teaching basic sewing machine operation.
SUPPLY LIST:
Student MUST supply at least one pair of pants to use in class. I recommend bringing one or two pairs of pants that you don't care about. You might pick up a pair at a thrift store/garage sale, or one from your giveaway pile. That way you can learn the techniques on a trial basis and avoid mistakes on pants you love. You will be cutting and sewing on the pants you bring. You will go home with new skills and some examples of ways to alter a waist for fit.
INCLUDED:
Sewing machine, but you are welcome to bring your own.
Shears, but you may bring your own.
Pins/clips
