MENDING & ALTERATIONS Location: Room 808 at Escondido Education Center 3 Saturdays: January 21 – February 4, 2012 Instructor: Marcia Roberts


10am – 2pm Fee: $129.00


Do you have a closet full of clothes that are too good to give away - but not quite wearable, either? Maybe the parts are too long, or the hem of the skirt is coming out. Or, you’ve lost a few pounds and your favorite skirt doesn’t hang right anymore. If you think the only way to recover these “lost” clothes is to use an expensive tailoring service, think again. This class will teach you how to do both hand- and machine-sewn hems, simple alterations and minor repairs that will put those gently used clothes back in service. Students should bring the items they would like to alter or mend, basic sewing supplies (list can be downloaded at www.palomar.edu click on “handouts”).


9am – 3:30pm Fee: $90.00


Have you experienced going to the beach in your new, expensive bikini only to find the girl who looks like a super model wearing the same bikini? Have you found the bikini bottom that fits just right, but the top is all wrong? The solution is making your own original, custom fit bikini. The bonus is you can make it for a fraction of the cost of a store bought bikini. This class will provide you with a basic pattern and show you how to adjust it to your personal fit. You will also learn how to select fabric and trim for your bikini, and many of the techniques used to sew a fabulous bikini in less than one day. All of this can be accomplished on your basic home sewing machine. If you own a serger sewing machine, making a bikini can be even easier! A $10 (cash only) materials fee will be collected in class. A supply list is available at www.palomar.edu/venture.
