Learn how to transform the clothes you already own. Converted Closet is a hands-on sewing class focused on alterations, fit adjustments, and garment reinvention.
 
Instead of letting old favourites sit forgotten, you’ll learn how to reshape them into pieces you’ll love again. From adjusting fit and hemming to adding pockets, installing zippers, bias binding, and creative re-design, we’ll guide you through essential skills that give your wardrobe new life.
 
Have a sweater dress you never wear anymore? Turn it into a jumper, a matching set, a skirt, or a completely new top—the possibilities are endless.
 
At The Green Needle, we believe the most sustainable garment is the one already hanging in your closet. Join us and start converting your wardrobe with confidence and creativity.
 
Prerequisites: Sewing Basics or equivalent
 
Address: 3033 Carling Ave. Unit 204
 
Supply Fee: $50 paid in cash on the first class
 
Note: The Green Needle will provide sewing machines and Sergers to the students. Students will need to bring their own basic sewing kit to class and practice at home to complete homework (approximately 20 hours).
 
Please review our policies before registering.
