Brand New Class! Alterations: Hemming with our sewing instructor Jackie Drummond. The first classes will be 7/30 and 8/23.
In this class, you will learn to hem your clothes! Hemming or creating a hem occurs when you folder over the edge of the fabric and sew them together - this creates a smooth and rounded edge without frays. Sometimes your clothes can be too long and learning how to hem with a sewing machine opens up a world of possibilities to customize your looks.
We will review the basics of setting up a sewing machine as well as learn new styles of seams, stitches, and sewing techniques! Learning how to alter your clothes can help you feel more confident in your wardrobe. Please Bring one to five items per person. These items could include clothing like: shirts that are too long (in the arms or the bottom), pants, dresses, and skirts that are too long.
Jackie Drummond (they/she) grew up in Colorado learning to sew from their mother at a young age. While studying Technical Theatre at Fort Lewis College, they learned techniques involving pattern making, alterations, and design and explored the historical and cultural importance of sewing over 500+ hours of learning and experience. Jackie encourages BIPOC, 2SLGTBQIA+, and Neurodiverse creators to join them in class, where they intentionally hold space for marginalized people to reclaim joy!
