Intro to Alterations Series - Class 2: Tapering and Slimming
homesewn · Media, PA
A two-hour hands-on alterations class at homesewn in Media, PA, where adults learn to taper pant legs and slim shirt sides on garments they bring from home.
Expect an intimate, workshop-style session at the shop's sewing tables: the instructor opens with a quick overview of fit and how to pin garments on the body, then walks the group step by step through tapering pant legs and slimming shirt sides. You work directly on one or two pieces from your own closet — a pair of pants or a shirt you've wanted to fit better — and leave with altered clothes plus techniques you can repeat at home. It's geared toward adults who already know how to thread and run a machine, so the focus stays on fit adjustments rather than sewing basics.
