Fiber Arts/Sewing: Alterations and Mending

This is a series of four 2-hour classes.

Class meets on four Wednesdays 5:30pm - 7:30pm

  • January series: 1/07/2026 - 1/28/2026
  • February series: 2/04/2026 - 2/11/2026

During our Alterations and Mending Series you will have the opportunity to enhance your sewing skills under the guidance of our sewing instructor Shannon Marshall. We have materials, sewing machines, and tools here for you to use. You are encouraged to bring your own machine in good working condition, with the power cord, foot control, accessories and instruction manual, if available.

Various hand sewing and machine sewing techniques will be demonstrated. You can practice these techniques with sample fabrics and on your own clothing. Please bring your (clean!) clothing to work on during class with guidance and support from your instructor. Please DO NOT bring any towels or bedding, curtains or window treatments, cushions or pillows, outdoor gear, items for your pet, or dirty clothes.

We are working on different projects during each class meeting. It's a small group of 4 to 8 students and we're going to have a great time sewing together! The skills you are learning during this series will set you up for success with any kind of sewing projects you want to get into.
