Garment Academy Session 106 Mending
Session 106
Mending is such an important part of sewing these days as decent clothing becomes harder to find. Maybe you just need to sew on a button, or fix a hem or patch those jeans. We will cover the types of hems and practice them, mend a hole or worn spots in jeans, and mending different kinds of seams. It can save you time and money by learning to do it your self.
1 ½ hour class
Garment Academy
Learning to sew your own clothes is more important now than ever. With more stores selling online and department stores selling “disposable” clothes it’s hard just finding a decent pair of pants or a t-shirt that even comes close to fitting. Finding fabric to make our clothes is easier than finding the garments!
Quickly learn to sew by mastering the fundamentals of sewing. Specific techniques will allow you to increase your skill levels. Make the clothes you want to wear!
