In this 2-hour intermediate sewing workshop, sewist Paige Plihal guides students through a complete introduction to hemming simple woven pants and skirts. Students will bring items to learn on and hem, exploring how to measure inseam, calculate hem allowance, and finally turn, press and hem their too-long garments. Paige will give a demonstration on a blind hem and hemming denim as well, these techniques will be for discussion only.

Students should bring 2-4 pieces of clothing to explore hemming. Expect to hem one pair of pants/skirt, or potentially more if time allows.

Appropriate types of clothing: woven, unlined (NOT knit) garments from stable fibers such as cotton, linen and viscose. No denim or slippery, silky fabrics. This is a beginner class, familiarity with threading and basic functions of a sewing machine is required.

This class is ideal for ages 14+ years.

Requirement: Students must have sewing experience, be familiar with how to wind/load a bobbin and sew basic stitches, and/or have taken an introductory sewing class at Craft Collective, like Sewing Fundamentals | Meet the Machine or Family & Beginner Sewing 101 | Sewing Machine Basics.

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR:
Paige Plihal is a sewist, knitter, and dye artist who will try anything crafty once! A love of craft and a DIY spirit were always encouraged in her childhood (she learned to sew at 8 years old), and she began sewing in earnest in 2009. After a four-year stint selling home-sewn baby carriers and accessories on Etsy, she found the online sewing community and leapt head-first into garment sewing. She hasn’t looked back. She loves melding fashion and style while building an intentional wardrobe for the relaxed Southern California sunshine when sharing her creative journey. Paige’s favorite fabrics are linen, silk, denim, and leather, and she loves empowering other creatives to try new substrates and explore new crafts.
