$Nip\/Tuck Clothing Alterations [September 2024]$

Details
Whether you have ill-fitting thrift finds or always need the same alterations of store bought clothes, this workshop will equip you with the skills you need to take things up or in ‘till they fit you like a dream!
Working on an item of clothing you’ve brought along, we’ll help you make the alterations you need to get a great fit.
Examples of projects you could tackle include shortening trousers, shortening the length of a dress or skirt, shortening sleeves, taking in a garment at the side seam.
Depending on the complexity of your chosen project, you may not have time to complete it during the workshop. However, if that is the case, we’ll send you away armed with the knowledge to finish it at home.
