Pant Alterations Lab (Waists and Hems) (March 16th 10-2)

Have a pair of pants sitting in your closet that almost work? This hands-on Pant Alterations Lab is designed to help you finally make them wearable again — with guidance, fitting help, and real-time instruction.

In this collaborative workshop, you’ll bring your own ill-fitting pants and learn how to assess fit, pin accurately, and translate those pins into successful alterations. Whether your pants need hemming, a waist adjustment, or both, you’ll leave with practical skills you can use again and again on your own wardrobe.

Class Date & Time:
Monday, March 16
10:00 AM – 2:00 PM
Single session | 4 hours

What You’ll Learn

• How to properly fit pants on your own body; pinning techniques for hems and waist adjustments

• How to “read” your pins and convert them into sewing steps

• Order of operations for common pant alterations

• Tips for improving fit while maintaining garment balance

Who This Class Is For

This class is for confident sewers and up who:

• Know how to use a sewing machine independently

• Have some experience working on/making clothing

• Want hands-on guidance with real garments

This is not a demo-style class — expect to be actively sewing, fitting, and problem-solving.

What to Bring

• Sewing machine (in good working order)

• Basic sewing tools (scissors, pins, seam ripper, ruler, marking pen or chalk)

• Matching thread

• One ill-fitting pair of pants (hem, waist, or both)

• A fun attitude — we promise it helps
