Alterations Class
In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to perform some of the most common clothing alterations, including:
  • Hemming by hand and machine (including jeans)
  • Taking in or adding darts and adjusting side seams
  • Sewing on buttons, snaps, and hooks
  • Repairing and patching denim
During Alterations I, we’ll work on sample fabric to practice each technique.

Alterations II
In this follow-up session, you'll apply the skills learned in Alterations I to real garments. Bring in one or more items of clothing that need any of the following:
  • Hemming (including keeping the original denim hem)
  • Sewing buttons, hooks, or snaps
  • Taking in or letting out seams or darts
  • Adding darts for better fit
  • Patching or repairing denim
This is a great opportunity to give new life to your clothes with guided support!

Instructor:  Susana Ash has a degree in Apparel Design and worked professionally in the New York and Philadelphia garment industries.  She has a studio in Doylestown and has been teaching needle crafts to all ages for the past 15 years.

A basic understanding of machine sewing is required. If you're new to using a sewing machine, we recommend taking our Intro to Sewing class on October 6 to build your foundational skills.  Bring your own machine; all other materials will be provided.  *Please note that cancellations will not be accepted, as the instructor has already pre-purchased supplies for the session.*
