Learn to Hem Your Pants or Skirt today!
December 8, 12-2pm
In this 2-hour intermediate sewing workshop, sewist Paige Plihal guides students through a complete introduction to hemming simple woven pants and skirts. Students will bring items to learn on and hem, exploring how to measure inseam, calculate hem allowance, and finally turn, press and hem their too-long garments. Paige will give a demonstration on a blind hem and hemming denim as well, these techniques will be for discussion only.
Students should bring 2-4 pieces of clothing to explore hemming. Expect to hem one pair of pants/skirt, or potentially more if time allows.
Appropriate types of clothing: woven, unlined (NOT knit) garments from stable fibers such as cotton, linen and viscose. No denim or slippery, silky fabrics. This is a beginner class, familiarity with threading and basic functions of a sewing machine is required.
This class is ideal for ages 14+ years.
Requirement: Students must have sewing experience, be familiar with how to wind/load a bobbin and sew basic stitches, and/or have taken an introductory sewing class at Craft Collective, like Sewing Fundamentals | Meet the Machine or Family & Beginner Sewing 101 | Sewing Machine Basics.
