  Simple Clothes Alterations

  Ripped jeans, missing buttons, and, well, that shirt missing a sleeve because you drunkenly wanted a breeze all need repairs. There’s no need to buy a new wardrobe. Hell, even the jeans may be considered fashionable. Rather than paying a tailor anywhere from $20 to, hmm, $220, why don’t you make these simple alterations yourself? Discover tailoring basics such as hemming and simple hand sewn replacements, including button fixing and correcting seams. In this class, you literally bring your damaged garments because your clothes act as the hands-on demonstration. All they needed were a simple alteration.
