Easy Alterations: Denim Edition
Led by Melinda McClelland
Do you have a pair of jeans you adore but they are too long? Or maybe they gap in the back? Worse, you tore them, or wore a hole in them, because you wear them non-stop! In this class Melinda will walk you through some basic techniques to make your jeans fit better and make simple repairs to keep them in your wardrobe. You will learn to shorten jeans without losing the unique “denim hem” look, snug up the waist a bit and learn several methods to repair unwanted holes.
You should have some knowledge of how to use your sewing machine; a basic understanding of threading the machine as well as winding and inserting the bobbin. It is best if the machine has a zig-zag stitch. Please click below for the supply list.
