ALTERING READY-TO-WEAR CLOTHES

Tuesday, October 1, 8 ,15, and 22   from 10 till 1


This class is for intermediate to advanced sewers who want to learn how to alter clothing. This class will practically pay for itself as you acquire the skills you need to get an expert fit for yourself and those you sew for.


During the first class I will demonstrate proper alteration techniques for determining how to get the best fit.
Alterations such as taking in and letting out:
  • Shoulders
  • Sides
  • Waists
  • Hips
  • Sleeves
  • and of course, hems
Then learn the best sewing methods of alteration to use to make these changes.

Sewing/ Practice time will be provided to try these techniques on samples or on your own clothing.

Discussions will also include how to make this into a money-making business.

No materials are needed for the first class.
