Intro to Alterations Series - Class 2: Tapering and Slimming
homesewn · Media, PA
A hands-on two-hour sewing class at homesewn where adults learn to taper pant legs and slim shirt sides using garments they bring from home.
Expect an intimate, workshop-style session at the shop's sewing table: the instructor starts with a quick overview of fit and how to pin garments on the body, then walks you through tapering pant legs and slimming shirt sides step by step. You'll 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 sewing machine, so the pace can focus on fitting and technique rather than machine basics.
