Alteration Hour - a Weekly Masterclass in Mending

Learn how to 'make do and mend' with a guided class on stitching and sewing.



1 hour

Class size 1 to 4 (public classes), 1 to 15
  $30

If you are looking for relaxed but informative sewing class in Perth, come join us to enhance your skills and boost your confidence.
My mum is known as 'the clothes whisperer'. Recently, I tried to mend my top. I did a terrible job, so I called my mum to fix it. Then I realised that I should get my Mum to teach me how to mend my own stuff - after running her own alterations business for over 30 years, she has a lot to teach us.
Each week, we will discuss the alterations around the table, then start repairing or altering our own garments with either hand sewing or stitching on the machine (BYO machine). Projects can be completed at home or return each week for further guidance.
In these workshops, you'll discover:
  • Threading the sewing machines (if you bring one)
  • Starting & finishing your hand sewing
  • Zip insertion and replacement
  • Discover the tips and tricks for hemming - trousers, skirts, dresses
  • Explore how to make simple/more complicated waist adjustments
  • Sewing buttons
BYO garment that needs fixing, or a small project will be provided if you solely looking to learn some basics.

Screen Free Social was born out of frustration. Previously a kids' art facilitator at a studio full of clients constantly picking up their phones, I felt drawn to do things differently.
I have 2 years of experience as an art facilitator and lots of years of hosting fun events.
Now I offer sessions for distraction-free creativity alongside like-minded people. Switch off and slow down.
This is multi-generational entertainment, for all abilities, in a relaxed, sometimes noisy, space. So put your phone down, turn up the music, and do fun stuff with nice people.
*NOTE*
On offer...
  • Creative Classes for families (completing projects side by side, more connection, less perfection)
  • Kids Camp School Holidays for creative exploration (adult camp coming soon - for those who want to be kids)
  • Meet & Make (social connectivity for emotional well-being)
