Time to transform your wardrobe! This class provides expert guidance from Fabrications expert sewer, Barley on how to revamp and embellish all those wardrobe items that previously seemed broken or in need or inspiration. This session offers an opportunity to go through your wardrobe and find items that you might not be wearing because they're broken or a hem needs lifting, perhaps your body shape has changed or you've bought a vintage item that needs to be modified or maybe something just needs to be revamped and embellished.

I would definitely recommend this class. Barley fantastic! she was really supportive and up for any challenge. She even let me stay longer to help complete some very tricky trousers. Thank you!

Dianne - 7 February 2018

This was a great class with a mix of different alterations from all the 'students'. There were varying degrees of ambition as to what people wanted to do with their garments, and this was great for someone like me who's not very imaginative! Barley was brilliant at advising people on how they can manipulate the fabric to fit better or to change how the garment hangs on the person or to change how it looks completely. What I liked most was being able to also learn about the skills that other people were using to make their alterations, so my learning wasn't limited to what I was doing for my own garments. The class has definitely got me thinking more creatively about how I can alter my clothes.
