In this class, we will learn about modifying and resizing clothing (basic!). Bring an item of clothing to practice on: cotton/denim preferred. Please do not bring a family heirloom or complicated formal dress or anything with delicate fabric (lace, silk, etc).  (Presenter will also have fabric available to practice on.)
