## ✂️ LEARN TO SEW: ALTERATIONS – 3 WEEK COURSE**8th, 15th & 22nd November | 11am–1pm**
Want to be able to alter your own clothes but have absolutely no idea where to start?
Over three weeks, I’ll teach you a whole toolkit of useful alteration techniques — **then you can bring along your own clothes and put those new skills into practice!**
### WEEK 1 – FIT & DARTS
We’ll look at how clothing fits the body and how darts can completely change the fit of a garment.
✂️ Adding and adjusting darts
✂️ Pinning and marking alterations
✂️ Understanding where and how much to alter
✂️ Getting a better fit without completely taking a garment apart!
### WEEK 2 – TAKING IN, ELASTIC & FASTENINGS
This week we tackle some of the alterations you’ll use again and again.
🧵 Taking in and adjusting side seams
🧵 Shirring
🧵 Adding and replacing elastic
🧵 Zip replacement
🧵 Buttonholes
### WEEK 3 – HEMS, HEMS & MORE HEMS!
Learn different professional ways to shorten and finish your clothes.
👖 Turkish hems
🧵 Rolled hems
🧵 Twin-needle hems
🧵 Blind hems
Then **bring along your own alterations** and start putting everything you’ve learned into practice with help and guidance.
Rather than simply altering one item together, this course is designed to **teach you the skills to understand and tackle alterations yourself** — so you can keep using them long after the course has finished.
Perfect for anyone who wants to make their wardrobe fit better, rescue charity-shop finds or finally attack that pile of clothes waiting to be altered!
