Hip to Hem and Mend

CLASS DATES

It is hip to hem your own jeans and pants and skirts!

It is still awesome to make do and mend your clothes! This is a hands-on workshop where you will learn the hemming techniques and then actually hem your garments. And bring all your garments that need mending. Alicia will work with you individually to find the best solutions for your mends.

Class will begin with a demonstration of the Original Hem for jeans and a standard hem for casual pants. Following the demonstration, work time will begin with guidance from Alicia. You will be trying on your pants to mark hem lenghts, so please be prepared with tights on or a robe/cover up. Beginners always welcome at the Sew-it-All Studio.

Bring to Class:
Jeans/pants/skirts/dresses etc to hem or cut into shorts (bring several, pin hems on pants if they belong to someone elsel)
Your pile of clean clothes that need mending
Basic Sewing Kit: pins, scissors, etc
Your sewing machine if you have one (machines available in class too)
Thread that matches your garments if you have it
