This course will teach you a range of skills and techniques to help you to extend the life of your clothes through making repairs and simple alterations- helping you to save money and reduce waste. In the first two sessions you will learn and sample how to correctly sew on buttons, take up a hem using machine and hand sewing, replace a simple zip, repair a tear, and easy patching & darning methods. In the last session, you will be able to bring in one or more of your own garments to repair using any of the methods you have learnt. These essential skills will enable you to feel confident to start more home sewing projects or potentially develop them further by joining a new Clothesmaking course at ALL.
