Clothing Alteration Class

Come and learn the art of clothing alteration!



2 hours Location Lismore Class size 1 to 4 guests   $55 (Afterpay available)

Got clothes sitting in your wardrobe that don’t quite fit right, need a little tweak, or would be much more wearable with a simple alteration?
You know your way around a sewing machine, but aren’t sure where to start. Or you’re worried you’ll make a mess of it and ruin a perfectly good garment!
These practical, hands-on classes will help you build the skills and confidence to tackle those alterations yourself.
Each standalone class focuses on one technique, so you can learn at your own pace, ask questions and give it a go in a relaxed, supportive environment.
From hemming techniques to adding pockets, you’ll learn useful skills to make your clothes fit better, work harder and last longer.
Less waste, more wear, and no more putting it off!
Classes are on 6 consecutive Wednesday evenings 5:30-7:30pm and are stand-alone classes so you can pick and choose which classes you would like to attend.
Max 4 participants per class
  • Nov 4 - HEMS - Taking up (shortening) skirts, pants, sleeves.
  • Nov 11 - POCKETS - Adding pockets to garments for extra utility
