Hem It Yourself — A Thread Room Alterations Workshop

Part of our Alterations Series

How many items are sitting in your wardrobe unworn because the hem is wrong? Too long, too short, or just not quite right?

This workshop is here to change that.

In this hands-on 3-hour session, alterations expert Mariya will walk you through everything you need to know about hemming - from the different techniques to when to use them. You'll practise on samplers first, then work on pieces you've brought from home, leaving with practical skills you'll use again and again.

Who’s this for?

Anyone who wants to fix, alter and give their clothes a longer life. Some sewing machine experience is helpful, as we’ll focus on hemming techniques rather than machine basics - but if you’re newer to sewing, you’re still very welcome. Just let us know when booking and we’ll help get you set up to follow along.

All machines and equipment provided.

What you'll learn:

Different hemming techniques and when to use each one

How to measure and mark a hem accurately

How to hem by machine and by hand

How to handle tricky fabrics and finishes

What to bring:

1–2 items from your wardrobe you'd like to hem

It is each students responsibility to come to the classes they have booked in for.

If a place in a class is booked it is the students responsibility to attend the classes. We are unable to provide a refund or credit or transfer for missed classes. All purchases are final.

Our class sizes are limited, and by booking into a class we: held the spot for you, purchased and prepared materials and paid the tutor for your spot and the time they spent preparing for the class.

Class times can be found on our website threadroom.co.nz

If you are able to let us know prior to the term starting that you will be missing a lesson, occasionally a catch up session can be arranged, but only if we have availability and at the desecration of Thread Room.

We cannot guarantee that you will complete your project during the term, but we will give guidance to help you select a project that is suitable for your skill level to be completed in our class timeframe. If you do not attend all classes, you may not complete project.

For individual projects students are expected to bring in their own fabric for the project or purchase one of our basic materials. We will give guidance on this before it is needed.

Kids and Teenagers Classes:

If your child will be missing a term class you must let us know.

We will try to provide a catch up session, because we work through set projects it is highly recommended they attend so they do not fall behind in the class. If they miss more than two classes, a catch up class fee will be charged for catch up sessions. If students do not attend all of the classes, they may not finish the term projects.

We cannot provide materials and instructions for the projects to be completed independently at home.

We may alter class projects if we feel students need more time. We want everyone to learn to sew in a fun, stress free environment.

If you are able to give us at least two weeks notice, a credit or exchange can be provided.
