Why You Should Go: The only thing you have in common with the dress-producing mice in "Cinderella" is the ability to sing slightly off-key and a hankering for cheese. But since you harbor a secret desire to be the next Tom Ford, it's time to master the ol' needle and thread. Time to give yourself a yarn up with a little help from the team at Stitch Cleveland. 

What to Choose:

• $30 for a two-hour private sewing lesson ($60 value)
• $25 for $50 toward alterations 

Why You'll Love It: Whether you’ve never touched a thread or are just a bit rusty, the lessons and classes taught by Heidi and Megan, a mother-daughter team of seamsters will have you stitching and sewing in no time. Your private lesson gives you that extra personal touch so you can fully develop your needle, thread and spool skills.

What To Alter: Whether your pants are too long or your skirt too wide, the expert alterations at Stitch Cleveland can transform a piece of clothing into something brand new and ready to wear. All you have to do is make the appointment and they’ll channel their Cinderella-mice-like ability to make over your wardrobe in a jiffy (sans cute little song).
