Intro To Sewing Alterations [Nov 5th - Buttons, Buttonholes & Patch Repair]

Learn to sew buttons, buttonholes, and patch small tears & holes

A sewing instructor guides her student through the intricacies of using a sewing machine, focusing intently on the vibrant fabric in a creative workshop.

🎨 What You'll Learn

This workshop series is designed for adults (18+) who want to gain practical skills in basic clothing alterations. Whether you're a thrift store enthusiast, a vintage fashion lover, or simply someone who wants their clothes to fit better, this class will give you the tools to confidently modify garments at home.

Attend one workshop to acquire a key alterations skill, or attend all to be able to complete the most common alternations. While we will not be sewing actual clothing items, we will demo techniques on scrap fabric. However, if you do have items that align with that workshop session’s theme, you are welcome to bring them!
