WORKSHOP | Clothing Alterations

Ages 16 + | With Niki English

Revitalize a vintage garment or update the fit of an old favorite. Learn basic techniques to alter existing clothing to fit your body. Participants bring a garment to the workshop and learn to alter hemlines, take in or let out a seam, and creative ways to reinterpret a vintage garment into a modern silhouette. While some knowledge of sewing machine basics is recommended, simple machine operations will be taught, as well as hand sewing methods. Supplemental materials and supplies for use in the classroom are included in tuition.
