Sewing Basics: Hemming
$42-$60 | 2hrs | Ages 16+
Prerequisite: Intro to Sewing II OR Intro to Garment Sewing I OR Intro to Sewing plus 1-3 small/medium projects OR equivalent skill level
Class Description:
Note: This class does not cover t-shirts/stretchy materials or bias-cut garments
We’ve all got that pile, you know the one! All of the curtains, pants, dresses, skirts, and tops that would be absolutely perfect if they were just the tiniest bit shorter. Learn this basic sewing skill and start using all those items that have been languishing unhemmed to their greatest potential. Hems covered will be basic and not suitable for more formal garments like slacks or trousers. If you have questions on whether your garment will be appropriate for this class, please send us a message!
