This class will give you guidance to mend and lightly alter the clothes you have to make better use in your wardrobe. Please bring no more than 3 articles of clothing to mend, we will do our best to complete them all and give you the skills and confidence to tackle your mending pile at home.
I can help with -
Patching holes
Crotch repair
Hemming
Shortening or lengthening garments
Replacing or strengthening buttons
Repairing dropped hems and ripped seams
Important things to note -
Some projects may require more time and attention than can be given during this mending session. If we’re unable to work on a garment during this session I can give ideas and guidance as to potential repair or alteration methods. If a project is doable but needs more time you are welcome to book a private lesson to work on in a separate session.
Mending and altering your garments often requires methods that are visible - if you are new to visible mending this can be an adjustment! This is a great opportunity to let your creativity reign and explore adding a unique flair to your clothes while extending their life outside of the landfill.
