ALTERATIONS WORKSHOP


Learn to alter your clothing in this hands-on workshop. Making clothing fit well can be tricky, but with some simple techniques, you can master the art of basic tailoring and hemming to achieve a more perfect fit. We’ll guide you through the process of transforming off-the-rack clothing into custom-fitted pieces. Take this workshop as many times as you need to!


In this 3-hour workshop, students will:

  • Learn how to assess fit issues

  • Take accurate body measurements

  • Pin and mark for alterations

  • Use a sewing machine, or hand sew to make alterations


**Some homework may be required to complete the alterations you learn.


SKILLS REQUIRED:

  1. Basic sewing machine operation (taught in "Sewing Basics 101")
