Rough & Ready Intro to Sewing and Basic Tailoring

& Brooklyn SkillShare team up to present a free, interactive workshop on basic sewing and tailoring skills. Learn basic ideas, terminology, and techniques that can help bring new life to basic garments.

According to Brooklyn SkillShare, "after class you should be able to know the difference between warp and weft; twill vs. plain; how to "true up", what's couture and why clothes just don't fit like they used to.... This can help you with re-purposing garments, understanding how to fit your clothes to your body and/or save some money on simple alterations."
