Open Garment Alterations Workshop

Learn how to alter garments at this hands-on Sydney sewing workshop!



3 hours Class size 1 to 6

label $135 (or 4 payments of $33.75 Afterpay)

If you always find yourself needing to alter your garments and you've been thinking about learning how to do it yourself, this is the perfect class to get you started.

If this is your first open alterations workshop, we recommend coming in with a variety of different clothes that require basic alterations such as hemming, tapering pant legs, repairing holes etc. This will help you ease into the world of altering your own clothes and gives you the opportunity to discuss more complex alterations with the teacher for future sessions.

In this open class, you'll not only work on your own garment but also learn from others in the group. Each participant brings a different type of garment, providing a rich learning experience.

Participants are usually able to achieve 1-2 basic garment alterations in the three hour timeframe, however, everyone works at their own pace and this should only be used as a guide only.

Please note, we are unable to work with denim or leather as these materials require industrial sewing machines.


Knowledge required
To get the most out of this alterations class, we require participants to attend our Sewing For Beginners class and Introduction To Garment Making class first. Or if you've acquired your sewing skills elsewhere, you should have made at least one garment following a commercial pattern before attending this Open Alterations Workshop.
What you'll get
  • Use of our sewing machines and overlockers
  • Full use of our sewing tools
  • Some Interfacing, thread, elastic and other bits
  • A teacher to guide you
  • Complimentary water, tea, coffee and snacks
What to bring
  • Your sewing machine (as long as you know how to use it)
  • A bag of different garments, it's best to bring a minimum of five so the teacher can recommend the best one to start with

Our story began in 2018 in a small Redfern studio. With only one desk and one sewing machine, our first class was published and we haven't looked back. Our passion for the arts coupled with bringing people together, brought our vision of launching a creative hub to life.

In our modern world, everything moves quickly, we have adapted to a fast-paced environment and sometimes it can be hard to slow ourselves down. Sydney Creative is a place for people to relax, regroup and find a creative outlet that will hopefully aid in bringing people a sense of achievement, fulfilment and joy.

Today, our classes run from our own venue in Redfern. We run lots of different creative classes from Sewing to Jewellery, painting and lots more, we love following the trends and developing new classes for our customers to enjoy.
