Hemming Class with guest teacher, Emily Smith

Saturday, April 27, 10am-1pm

$125 or $62.50 for Sew Local Studio Members

Need to hem that garment but don't know where to start? The wait is over! In this 3-hour workshop, you will get hands on experience using 3 methods for hemming non-stretch garments, including two machine sewing techniques and one hand sewing technique. Throughout the workshop, we will discuss several variations of these stitches and their practical uses. Students should bring in a simple hemming project from home and any questions; a portion of time will be dedicated to working on these projects!

This class is taught by Emily N Smith, a Patternmaker for TV and Film. Emily has sewn professionally at several theaters including the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego and the LA Opera. She currently freelances in the tv/film industry, working on shows such as HBO’s Love and Death, Star Wars’ Ahsoka and ABC’s Dancing with the Stars.

Machines provided and you'll need to purchase a hemming kit from the shop. A detailed supply list will be mailed out to you prior to the class.
