The art of alteration is about more than fit, it's the confidence to wear clothes that express you and that you can feel comfortable wearing for years. Bring along an item of clothing that doesn’t fit, is never worn, or is broken in someway. We all have such garments that were once loved or that were brought but never worn, this is the sustainable answer to such an issue.
In this session you will pair up and fit your garment, with my advice and guidance along the way, then swap and visa-versa. Garments can be turned into something completely new and in your pair you can discuss the best solution, again with my guidance. Once everyone is fitted, consulted and happy with the outcome sewing can commence. You will unpick where necessary, pin, cut and sew to complete the alteration within 1.5 hours. You will walk away with a new garment and knowledge for future garments.
