Hemming Workshop: Learn to Hem Your Own Clothes

Tired of pants that are too long or curtains that drag on the floor? In this focused workshop, you’ll learn practical hemming techniques to confidently shorten garments and simple home textiles — Sewing 101 or equivalent skills suggested.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Everyday Hemming Techniques: Basic methods for hemming trousers, dresses, and skirts using a sewing machine or by hand.

  • Jean Hemming (Original Hem Style): A simplified approach to keeping that original hem look — perfect for casual denim.

  • Curtain Hemming Basics: How to measure, cut, and hem lightweight curtains for a clean, finished look.

  • Working with Fabric: Tips on handling common fabrics like cotton, denim, and synthetics — no slippery silks or tricky formalwear here!

  • Tools & Techniques: Get comfortable with the tools and tricks that make hemming easier and more accurate.

Is This Class Right for You?

This class is ideal if you:

  • Want to learn how to hem your own clothes or basic home items

  • Are a beginner or hobbyist looking to build confidence

  • Have straightforward items to practice on (e.g., jeans, simple trousers, unlined curtains)

Note: For very complex garments or delicate items, we may suggest simpler alternatives during class — the goal is to make hemming approachable and achievable in just a couple of hours.

If you have never used a sewing machine before, we highly suggest signing up for Sewing 101 first.

What’s Included:

  • All tools and materials (bring your own items to hem)

  • A friendly, relaxed environment with expert guidance

  • Option to bring your own sewing machine if you’d like

    I used to wear heels a lot, but I've switched to mostly sneakers...which means most of my jeans are too long. But after this workshop, I can fix them myself! Really great way to get hands-on experience and increase confidence for newbies like me!

    I recently attended a hemming workshop with Nancy, and it was a fantastic experience! Nancy was incredibly kind, experienced, and patient. She guided me through new sewing techniques and was always ready to help. She even fixed a snafu with my sewing machine, which made the session even more valuable. I left feeling more confident and skilled. Highly recommend this workshop!
