Tailoring & Mending Workshop - December
Learn how to sew and fix your clothes!
$90.00
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, as they would like, from home for instructor-assistance on repairs or alterations.
