Rework: Learn to Alter Your Clothes & Thrift Finds

Coming soon to The Atelier Room. Reserve your spot with a $100 deposit.
Tentative start: the week of November 16.

Love shopping but tired of paying for alterations? Learn to tailor the clothes you own and the pieces you thrift so they fit and feel like yours.

Rework is an in-person evening sewing class with four options. Choose a standalone class if you already know how to use a sewing machine, or join a beginner-friendly cohort that starts with machine basics.

How the deposit works

Your $100 deposit holds your place in the first Rework groups, which are limited to 5 students each. Depositors get first choice of start dates before booking opens to the public, and the full $100 is credited toward the package you choose.

Once dates are announced, you'll have 7 days to confirm your package and pay the balance. Deposits are non-refundable. If your preferred evening doesn't run, your deposit can be transferred to another evening or cohort.
