Do you have a pile of clothes in the back of your closet you don’t wear because they fit poorly?

cALLING ALL sewists who know how to use a sewing machine but aren’t sure how to make clothes fit better.

• Do you try on lots of clothes while shopping, just to leave a lot of them behind because it’s hard to find something that fits you well?
  
• I know what it feels like to try on 10 pairs of jeans and not find one that fits well and feels comfortable.
  
• I’ve also sewn clothes that just didn’t work out because the pattern just wasn’t made for my proportions.
  
• You know how to use a sewing machine, but tackling clothing fit is another ball game.
  
• Maybe you were drawn to sewing because you wanted to be able to fix and change your clothes, but don’t know what to do - there are no instructions for alterations!

ALTER ALMOST ANYTHING ONLINE COURSE

For the sewist who wants to make clothes they bought or SEWED fit better - but needs some instruction and guidance.

MAKE CLOTHES YOU ALREADY HAVE FIT YOU BETTER!

If you have enough sewing know-how to sew items like bags and aprons, you can take the next step and become your own personal tailor.

You CAN have a closet full of beautifully fitting clothes you look forward to wearing, that you altered yourself.

Alter Almost Anything is an online program that walks you through:

• The ins and outs of clothing fit (Knowing why something isn’t working is the foundation of clothing fit).
  
• My four-step fitting framework so you’ll be able to create an action plan for making clothes fit better
  
• The “order of alterations” - adjusting clothing needs to be done in the right order - I have a straightforward way of tackling this
  
• The most commonly used alterations
  
• Learning what clothes and alterations work best on your unique body
  

so...

How does this program work?

Class videos are sent once a week over 6 weeks to get you the ​frameworks, information and lessons you need to become your own ​tailor. By the end of 6 weeks, you should be able to tackle that “to be ​altered” pile of clothes in the back of your closet and make them your ​new favourite clothes!

You keep access to the videos for at least a year, so you can take your ​time with the lessons and rewatch as you wish.

frequently asked questions

I’m a beginner sewer. Will this be too advanced for me?

This course assumes that you know how to use a sewing machine, and will not go over basic sewing machine operation. However, if you have sewn basic projects such as bags, masks, aprons, pyjamas, you have enough skill to use this course.

I will offer lots of sewing tips along the way for things like stitch length and needle selection, but I won’t go over how to use a machine.

Will you cover adjusting sewing patterns?

No, this is not a pattern-making or patterns skills course. But, there is a course that addresses this as a bonus (Sewing Pattern Success) which you will receive access to shortly after signing up.

Will this course help me start an alterations business?

While I’m making this as comprehensive as I can, all the lessons are broken up into smaller segments that makes it easy to find what you are looking for.

You have access to the videos for at least 1 year, so you can take your time! Even if you just have 1-2 hours a week for a few weeks, you will make progress towards the perfectly fitting wardrobe of your dreams.

I’m not sure if my sewing level is right for this course.

If you know your way around a sewing machine, have made some easy projects and understand words like “seam allowance”, you have enough skill to do this course.

Some of the techniques are easier to do than others. Start with the easier ones and work your way up. This program is great for adventurous beginners who want to learn more about clothing fit.

What previous students have said...

I really enjoyed it and it opened my eyes and brain to what you can do with alterations. Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing your knowledge.
