Upcoming Class: Clothing Alteration and Repair

Clothing Alteration and Repair
Save money by fixing the clothes you
already own! Students can bring in their
own clothes in need of work or bring in
fabric for making samples of techniques.
Examples shown will vary with the projects
brought in but will include zippers, hems,
buttons, buttonholes, and pockets.
Stop using tape and safety pins to hold your clothes
together - gain more wear from your
wardrobe and save money by fixing it
yourself.
