• patch a hole
• fix zipper issues

• 1 shirt with buttons (see notes below)
• Neutral thread (white, gray, tan, etc.)
• Coordinating thread (match the pants)
• 1 fat quarter or patch

 
Notes about choosing clothing:

• The items you bring are for practice, so they may not be usable when you’re done. If you do not have clothing at home, consider purchasing something from a thrift store.
• The size of the clothing is not important, but it is easier to hem adult-sized clothing than children’s sizes.
• If you plan to bring items you want to repair for use, make sure to bring coordinating thread, extra buttons (if missing), a zipper (if it’s broken), and a drawstring (if missing) for the garments. 

Cost of class: $40
