About this Event

Crafting Resilience: Gender-Affirming Alterations Workshop


Clothes are more than clothes — they’re identity, safety, expression, and joy. This monthly workshop creates a supportive, judgment-free space for trans, nonbinary, and gender-expansive folks to learn, request, or receive gender-affirming alterations that help their clothes fit you better.

Whether you’re reshaping a silhouette, adjusting a garment for comfort, or exploring ways to make your wardrobe align with your gender expression, we’re here to help.


What We Offer

✨ Free or sliding-scale alterations for gender-affirming needs

✨ Fit consultation to help you identify which adjustments will feel right for your body

✨ Skill-building demos for simple alterations you can try at home

✨ A harm-free, welcoming environment centered on autonomy and respect


Examples of Alterations

  • Taking in or letting out seams
  • Shortening or lengthening hems
  • Adjusting straps
  • Masculinizing or feminizing silhouettes
  • Adding coverage or reducing bulk
  • Repairing well-loved pieces so you can keep wearing what feels affirming


Who This Is For

This event is open to anyone seeking gender-affirming support with their clothing — all sewing experience levels welcome, and all identities welcome. Allies and support friends may attend.


Cost

Sliding scale / pay-what-you-can.

No one is turned away.


Why We Do This

Crafting Resilience believes that creativity is a tool for healing and empowerment. Clothing should never be a barrier — it should help you feel more at home in your own skin.


Come as you are. Leave with clothes that feel like you.
