Denim! Jeans are arguably the most popular article of clothing, and when they fit just right — it’s magic. We’ve altered and repaired hundreds of jeans, jean jackets, jean shorts, jean jumpsuits….

We’ve figured out all the little tips and tricks and we can’t wait to share them with you!

You will leave with sewing samples of new techniques AND you will have the chance to use them on your own garments.

We’re partnering with First Kiss Tattoo and Vintage (right across the street!) for this class - during the 2 days of your class, you’ll receive 20% off their entire shop! (They have a nice big denim selection!). And, to celebrate your newfound skills set, you’ll be invited to the next Champagne & Shopping Party in their boutique with on the spot fittings and consults.
