Got a pile of old T-shirts or other random clothes you never wear? I do. Make your own clothes that fit perfectly by transforming old ones. Turn a giant, old sweater into a unique dress and use the extra fabric for a matching bag. Use a sewing machine to take complete control over your own look. This class is great for all skill levels – there’s always something new to learn, whether you’re an aspiring fashion designer or someone who happens to get stuck with too many unflattering hand-me-downs.
