Pants: we all wear them, but they almost never fit just <\/em>right. Rather than buy a new pair, come join us and learn how to adjust your existing pants or shorts! In this class, we\u2019ll cover waistband darts, hemming the length, and adding or subtracting fabric from the waist or legs to adjust the fit. Whether you have a pair that\u2019s slightly too big or too small, a pair that fits perfectly in some areas and not at all in others, or you want to adjust the shape, this class is the one for you. Participants must bring a pair of pants or shorts they\u2019d like to work on, but all other materials (including all sewing notions, sewing machines, extra fabric, thread, etc) are provided by UpCycle. This class is open to beginner sewers who have basic knowledge of and comfort with sewing machines. Join us and learn how to start customizing your wardrobe – your clothes should fit YOU, not the other way around!<\/span><\/p>\n

Pre-requisites: basic knowledge of how to use a sewing machine is required. If you have taken our Sewing Machine 101 class, you\u2019re good to go! Feel free to email us at programs@upcyclecrc.org<\/a><\/u> if you have questions about pre-requisite skills or if you would like to inquire about bringing your own sewing machine.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
