Workshops
Jeans genius
Do you have pairs of jeans you once loved but no longer wear? Perhaps the shape feels out of date, the legs are too long, or the hems have worn out? In this 2-hour workshop, you’ll use a sewing machine and an overlocker to transform your worn-out treasures into something new (to you)! Changing flares into stylish skinnies, taking up hems without losing the original stitching, and creating summery capris or shorts are just a few of many possibilities.
Bring one or two pairs of jeans that fit in the waist and bottom plus a bit of imagination!
Please note: This is NOT a beginner’s workshop. You should already know how to sew straight seams and feel confident on a sewing machine. (If you haven’t sewn recently, please sign up for one of our Intro to Sewing Machine workshops: Cafe Apron, Cushion Cover or Tote Bags)
- Level: Advanced beginner
- Course length: One 2.5-hour session
