No prior experience is required, but doing Sewing 101 or equivalent will make it easier to focus on the garment work.

Tailoring: Improving the fit of the clothes

Alterations: Changing the appearance, character, or structure of clothes

Repairs: Fixing or mending your beloved garments

Bring in any projects that you would like assistance in learning how to alter

We provide all the tools, machines, and cutting space you'll need, and Anastasia will be there to help and guide you every step of the way.
