Hem Those Pants!



Online event

TUESDAY, MARCH 2, 2021 AT 6 PM CST – 7 PM CST

Join us for some skill building with UMD student Lydia Hooker of Stitches and Sprouts.

Lydia will be teaching us how to hem our pants (or skirts). Attendees are encouraged to bring their items in need of length adjustment to learn this skill in a hands-on way, ask questions, and get instant answers!

All bodies are different and we don't fit neatly into every brand's definition of "petite", "regular", "long" or whole-number inseams (sometimes half an inch would make all the difference!). And paying a tailor to customize every garment isn't necessarily in the budget -- the ​solution is to learn to hem your own stuff...and it's not as difficult as you imagine! Again, Lydia to the rescue
