WORKSHOPS
TAILORING TECHNIQUES AND ALTERATIONS
Do you want to learn a specific skill without having to sit through an entire course? Or, are you tired of paying someone else to alter your clothes after a weight loss (or gain, ugh)? ...to simply raise or lower a hem...add a cuff...replace a zipper or a button? Or does your favorite vintage piece need just a little help? Well, we understand and have created workshops to fit the bill. You'll be applying your new found skills to your sewing projects or making alterations like the p,ros in no time!
