When: Monday, June 30th, 5:30-8pm

Difficulty: Some sewing experience required for this class. Must be comfortable using a sewing machine and sewing seams

About:

With demos and samples, the first 2 hours of class will cover how to:

-Bring in a shirt waist using darts
-Bring in or out circumference using side seams
-Taper in sleeves
-Variations on shortening sleeves (with cuffs, without cuffs)
-This class will not go over hems, but a quick refresher can be provided

A lot of these principles can be applied to dresses and lightweight jackets as well! Suit jackets are a little more challenging than this class covers. 

For the last 1/2 hour, bring a shirt, dress, or lightweight jacket tailoring project to get started on after the instruction


Materials

All materials and machines are provided, but feel free to bring your own if you'd prefer! Option to bring a tailoring project to work on the last 1/2 hour of class.
