Alter it! - Wear it Again builds nicely on the first course but also works as a standalone course.
Four more weeks of practical alteration skills to help you rescue, refresh and get more wear from the clothes you already own.
Week 1 – Waistbands that Actually Fit
Learn ways to take in or let out waistbands, work with elasticated waists, replace tired elastic and understand how different waistbands are constructed.
Week 2 – Zips, Buttons & Fastenings
Tackle some of the most common clothing repairs, including straightforward zip replacements, buttons, hooks and eyes – and learn when a repair is better left to a specialist.
Week 3 – Change the Shape
Explore how relatively simple changes to length, trouser legs, sleeves and garment shape can improve the fit and make clothes more wearable.
Week 4 – Rescue, Restyle & Rewear
Bring along an unloved garment and give it another chance. Alter it, restyle it, repair it or repurpose it, using the skills you’ve developed during the course.
This is a four-week course and your booking reserves your place for all four evenings.
Course fee: £20 (£5 per evening)
Duration: 2 hours per week
