This workshop is designed to provide guidance and support for a wide variety of projects, from simple alterations to complete transformations. Because every participant brings a different challenge and creative vision to the classroom, the group will discuss each project together, sharing ideas, techniques, and solutions. You'll gain inspiration from the creativity of others while learning fitting, construction, and alteration skills that can be applied to future projects. Whether you're updating a treasured favourite or reinventing a thrifted find, you'll discover exciting possibilities hidden in the clothing you already have and leave with new skills, increased confidence, and a project that's uniquely your own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003ePlease refrain from wearing perfume on the day of class.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClass Policies\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease read and understand the following before registering for a class - thanks!\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGeneral:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClass fees must be paid in full at the time of registration to reserve your spot.
