sewing classes

Sewing is an amazing creative outlet and such a practical skill to have. Once you know the basics of sewing the possibilities are endless. It can be a great confidence builder, it challenges us to solve problems and think differently. In our fast paced world, full of digital distractions, taking time to slow down and create something with your hands can feel revolutionary.

Hem It Yourself — A Thread Room Alterations Workshop
Part of our Alterations Series

How many items are sitting in your wardrobe unworn because the hem is wrong? Too long, too short, or just not quite right?

This workshop will change that.

In this hands-on 3-hour session, alterations expert Mariya will walk you through everything you need to know about hemming — from the different techniques to when to use them. You'll practise on samplers first, then work on pieces you've brought from home. You'll leave with a skill you'll use forever.

No sewing experience needed. All machines and equipment provided.

What you'll learn:

  • Different hemming techniques and when to use each one

  • How to measure and mark a hem accurately

  • How to hem by machine and by hand

  • How to handle tricky fabrics and finishes

What to bring: 1–2 items from your wardrobe you'd like to hem.
Where: Devonport Community House
Cost: $65
When: Thursday 25th June 6-9pm
