Don't want to just throw away your beloved broken or ill-fitting clothes? But can't figure it out yourself? With a few simple steps, they get a well-deserved second life, and often without a sewing machine! Repairing and altering clothes is wonderfully sustainable, good for your wallet, and also wonderfully zen to do. What are you learning? We will work specifically on the garments that you bring yourself and/or the techniques that you want to learn yourself. Taking into account the time and your own possibilities/sewing level, we will try to make your clothing wearable again. You will receive personal advice and learn specific techniques to tackle the problems with the clothing you brought. You will also learn about materials and tools that you can use to repair and adjust clothing. At the end of the lesson, you will have made one or more garments wearable again and learned a lot of techniques that you can continue to apply at home on broken and ill-fitting garments. If you choose to book a series of multiple lessons, I can offer you a full clothing repair course, covering as many clothing repair techniques as possible. At the end of each lesson you will receive a handout to take home, which explains the techniques again. What are you bringing? Clothing with torn seams or loose hems, stains, holes, tears, broken zippers, missing buttons or hooks. Clothing that is too big or too small in the waist, too long or too short in the hem, etc. If you have some sewing supplies at home, you can bring them along: needles, pins, thread, scissors, tape measure and seam ripper. If you don't have any, don't worry, all the necessary tools are available. And if you want to continue working at home, you can buy a Mending Kit from the teacher on the spot. There are also (vintage) haberdashery and materials for sale.
