TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 22nd FROM 6-8PM: " A rough and ready introduction to sewing basics and tailoring" Teacher: Inessah Selditz Description: During the class we'll cover some basic ideas, terminology and techniques to help everyone become a better sewer or just freshen up their foundations. After class you should be able to know the difference between warp and weft; twill vs. plain; how to "true up", what's couture and why clothes just don't fit like they used to. Towards the end I'll demonstrate some basic tailoring techniques. This can help you with re-purposing garments, understanding how to fit your clothes to your body and/or save some money on simple alterations. |
