Hemming on the Sewing Machine

  • The Scrap Exchange 2050 Chapel Hill Road Durham, NC, 27707 United States (map)

In this Upcycle Clothing Workshop with River Takada, we will be using our sewing machines to practice hemming.  We will cover a basic "fold and sew hem", "blind stitch hem" and "rolled hem".  We will sew hemming samples using scrap fabric for this workshop and discussing how best to measure garment lengths on yourself.  Students are welcome to bring items they would like to hem to ask questions, though we might not get hemming your items, we hope you will leave with the skills to sew at home. This is an intermediate sewing workshop; Knowledge of using a sewing machine is required.

Cost per student: $35

Max number of students: 8
