Learn how to sew and fix your clothes!
$95.00
The Tailoring & Mending Workshop introduces participants to practical techniques for repairing,
maintaining, and improving the fit of clothing they already own.
Rather than creating a garment from scratch, participants can learn how to identify common
clothing issues and determine the appropriate technique for repairing or altering them.
Participants may bring garments from home for instructor-assistance on repairs or alterations.
