You deserve clothes that fit and make you happy!
Learn to adjust your existing clothes to be size and gender affirming and use found fabrics to embellish and create new garment elements! This class will take you through guided projects using thrift store finds or clothing from your own wardrobe. Learn how to shop for second hand textiles and discover the satisfying art of reinvention! This class includes a fabric finding field trip!
You'll learn how to transform clothing by applying techniques to manipulate both stretchy and woven fabrics. We will learn simple tailoring techniques to modify non-stretch garments like the waistbands of pants and side seams of shirts and dresses. Stretch techniques will be used to modify tee shirts and sweaters.
No garment making experience necessary but you must have a sewing machine and know how to use it.
Instructor, Martha Coates Donahoo has over 25 years of experience transforming found textiles and they will be your guide in both technical and imaginative aspects of textile recreation.
