Sew Easy: Fit to You — Alterations 101

Sunday, August 16 · 1:00–4:00 PM

That pile of clothes that almost fits perfectly? It's time to do something about it.

In this intimate, hands-on workshop, professional seamstress Sabrina of Bend Alterations will guide you through the art of altering your own garments — so the clothes you already own finally fit the way they should.

Over 3 hours, you'll learn techniques including:

• Hemming
• Adding darts
• Shortening straps
• Shortening sleeves with cuffs
• Taking in sides
• Changing a neckline

This is an extra-small class — just 5 students maximum — designed to give you plenty of one-on-one time with Sabrina, who brings over 45 years of professional sewing experience and a genuine love of teaching to every class.

What to bring: Bring 1–2 garments from your own wardrobe that you'd like to alter. We encourage you to bring your own sewing machine so you can continue making alterations at home — and because every machine is a little different, practicing on yours makes the skills stick.

Please note: Basic sewing machine knowledge is required. This class is not suitable for stretch fabrics. If you need to borrow a machine, please indicate that at checkout and we'll do our best to accommodate you.

Class size: 2 minimum, 5 maximum. This class may be cancelled if the minimum enrollment is not met.
