Her techniques include simple templates for accurate seaming and where to use fusible interfacing. You will work on a practice garment to help perfect your technique.  Other alternations will also be discussed: Altering men’s pants, hemming pants and other formal wear garments, and resizing suit coats including shortening the sleeves at the shoulder.
