You bring: One or more garments in need of alteration. See details below. Total instruction time: 3 hours Cost: $59 In this clinic-style workshop, garment sewing expert Eliza West will guide you through adjusting the fit of a piece of clothing from your wardrobe. She will help you understand garment fit and construction, and give you the tools you need to make adjustments to off-the-rack garments. Please bring one or more garments in need of alteration with you to class. The exact content of the class will depend on what projects the students bring in. It may include: altering pants waistbands, taking in pant legs, sleeves, or the bodies of shirts, shortening garments, or adjusting shoulder fit. Note that it is much easier to take garments in than to let them out; if you have a garment you would like to make bigger, consider bringing some matching or coordinating fabric with you. You are welcome to bring several garments with you, but we may not get through them all. Notion operates on Western Abenaki land.
