Learn to hem your own jeans so you’ll never have to bring them to a tailor again! We will be using hand sewing techniques for this class, so no machine necessary!
About the instructor:
Sarah Bushway is a lifelong crafter and sewist who began making her own clothes as a personal protest against the fast fashion industry—and never looked back! She loves showing people how empowering it can be to sew clothes that truly fit their bodies and personal style. Sarah is also the owner of Forager Fabrics, specializing in sustainable fibers and secondhand sewing supplies.
Tools included:
Needles, scrap fabric for practicing, scissors, thread
What you should bring:
Jeans that you would like to hem. Please mark your jeans at the length you want them ahead of time as we do not have a lot of space to try on. To do this, fold them up and test the length in the mirror. Mark the fold using pins or tailors chalk.
