FAQs
- Do I need to know how to use a sewing machine?
Not necessarily! Most of the mends and alterations we will cover can be done by hand. However if you need or would like to use a sewing machine for alterations or machine darning, you must be a confident beginner who has used a sewing machine before. If you don't have this skill but would like to learn, you can do so at our other workshop - Ready Set Sew!
FAQs
- How many garments can I bring to mend or alter?
You can bring as many garments as you like, but you may not have time to repair or alter them all. Having a few options is good as we can prioritise the ones that are doable in the 2 hour timeframe. Complex alterations may not be realistic in the timeframe, but simple mends like patching and darning, and simple alterations like hemming, adjusting straps, and adding darts are all doable in this workshop :)
