Say goodbye to  holes in the hems of your jeans, learn to shorten pants with the most common finish – rolled hems!

Grab that pair of work pants that needs shortening, or that old favourite pair of jeans that could have a second life as your new favourite shorts, and join us to learn the basics of hemming.

What we will cover:

• Measuring length of pants on and off the body 
• Accurately measuring and cutting new hems
• How to set up your sewing machine to suit your clothing
• Straight stitching rolled hems

• Optional: if you have your own sewing equipment please feel free to bring it along  (e.g.: sewing machine, scissors, markers, pins)
