Did you fall in love with a second-hand piece that's not your size, or do you want to turn your jeans into shorts? Altering clothes gives textiles new life, and here you will learn how: The workshop starts with an introduction to BERNINA sewing machines and provides an extensive overview of the basics of alteration tailoring, such as proper pinning and processing steps.
In the second part, we will discuss your alteration wishes, and I will guide you with tips and tricks to adjust your clothing. You can take home all the information in a handout to apply and expand your knowledge further.
No prior sewing machine experience is required. Please bring your garment, along with suitable materials and haberdashery.
