with Sequel Jeans

DATE: Thursday December 11th 

TIME: 6pm-9pm

Want your jeans to look like they were never altered? Learn how to hem your jeans with professional, high-end tailoring techniques in this hands-on workshop with Danielle from Sequel Jeans. 

Designed for sewists with intermediate garment-making experience, this 3-hour class will walk you through every step of hemming your jeans: preserving the original hem stitching while adjusting the inseam for a seamless, polished finish. You'll leave with a hem that looks like it came straight from the factory — and the skills to repeat it anytime. Students must feel confident using a seam-ripper and a steam iron!

What You'll Learn:

• How to measure and mark your inseam accurately.
• The full process of creating a clean, invisible hem
• Working with different denim types (stretch, rigid, selvage)
  Professional finishing tips to make your hems last
• Using steam iron and other tools

What to Bring:
