Description

Ready-to-wear shouldn’t be “ready-to-swear.” Learn to make your own basic alterations to store-bought clothing, including lengthening and shortening hems, altering waistbands, replacing zippers, tapering tops and more. Angela will give you step-by-step instruction on simple techniques you’ll be able to use in all your future tailoring projects.
