Arts & Crafts, Home & Environment / SEWING: HEMMING AND MENDING

SEWING: HEMMING AND MENDING

Learn some basic clothing fixes! In the first class, we will learn how to hem jeans, pants and skirts/dresses using a sewing machine or (if you like a challenge) by hand. In the second class we will focus on visible mending techniques using Sashiko stitching. You do not need your own sewing machine, and previous experience is not required. A supplies list will be sent out 2 weeks before the start of the class. There will be a $5 materials fee payable to the instructor on the first day of class. Limit 20 students.

Please join our Sewing: Hemming and Mending class in Fall 2026!

Instructor: Sally-Ann Rudd, srudd@pausd.org, and Maya Sen, msen@pausd.org

Prerequisite: None

Student Comments

The live instruction and hands-on practice in the Hemming and Mending sewing class was exactly what I was hoping for in learning a new skill. I plan to immediately begin to hem and mend my kids’ clothes.

The Hemming and Mending class was great. I learned new techniques for hemming my clothes that I hadn’t tried before. I also learned about mending techniques and I practiced with a new method, Sashiko, which I read about but didn’t know how to implement. It was very helpful to have access to the various supplies that can be used for both activities. For example, I loved the fabric cutter. The instructors’ years of experience with sewing and their obvious love of it was inspiring.
