Beginner Tailoring
Jun 4 - Jun 18
2hr x 3 classes
Overview:
This weekly 2-hour class series teaches students how to thread and operate a domestic sewing machine. In each class students will work on 1-3 garments from their own closet, learning to pin, mark, cut, and sew a variety of alteration techniques and repairs.
Items and alteration ideas ideal for this class are pants, skirts, shirts, and jackets for hemming, side seam adjustments, sleeve shortening, crotch repairs, and more.
Each week students will gain confidence and knowledge to progress and execute more advanced tailoring techniques.
Goals:
Students will use their own clothes to practice pinning silhouettes in the mirror, prepping garments for adjustments, and furthering their comprehension of garment components, shape adjustments, reassembly, and finishing techniques.
The goal of this class is to leave students feeling empowered and prepared to execute more challenging alteration types and feel confident in creating ways to update, upcycle and enhance their own wardrobes.
Who is this class for:
Beginner sewers who have none or some sewing experience, those who are looking to expand their understanding of garment construction.
This is a practical class! Please bring your own clothing for hemming, side seam adjustments, and repairs.
Thread, tools, and machines are supplied. If extra time is needed, students can purchase additional studio time or lessons.
