Wish your clothes fit you better? Learning the basics of alterations can transform your closet. We’ll cover hemming pants and other garments, shortening straps on a tank or dress, as well as taking in a top. We’ll use both machine and hand sewing to personalize your threads.

  • Classes are confirmed one week prior to the start date. In order to help us confirm classes, please register as early as possible.
  • Students should bring clothing items with them to class. Experience with a sewing machine is necessary.
Hutchinson, Lisa

Lisa Hutchinson started Top Stitch Mending five years ago, to help keep clothing out of landfills and keep family heirlooms in circulation. Top Stitch offers clothing repair services, including visible mending and sewing lessons to spread sustainability. With a goal of zero waste, all scraps from past projects are used for future repairs. Lisa is personally driven by reuse, sustainable practices and low impact living. These ideas are explored in the classes she teaches both at her studio and The Visual Arts Center. She has been sewing for 27 years and received her bachelor's degree in fashion design from Drexel University.
