Hemming For Beginners

Spend a relaxed afternoon at Aunty Social and learn how to achieve the perfect hem by hand. Learning to hem will allow you to shorten and hem your favorite pants, skirts and dresses, and fix an undone hem.

On this workshop you will learn how to:

• use hemming tape to secure a hem
• sew a Herringbone stitch

On this free workshop you will be guided through each step and will leave with samples for you to reference on future projects.

• Hot/cold drinks

This session is supported by Blackpool Council to help with the rising cost of living.
