Using a recommended pattern of your choice, learn to cut, canvas and sew a beautiful, tailored jacket or overcoat. We will be using a combination of professional techniques from English and Italian tailoring traditions.
Learn skills like canvasing, pockets, hand-sewn buttonholes and much more!

Tailoring a jacket or overcoat is a sewing journey! 
After running this workshop for two years we're changing the way we're running it to give our students more time to complete their garments and make it a go-at-your-own-pace workshop.

Instructional videos and instructions will be released monthly giving students time to complete the steps before the next steps are released. 

Zoom meetings with the instructors will be hosted monthly for fittings, demonstrations and discussions. All Zoom sessions will be recorded and uploaded to the course page. So, if you can't make the live session you still get all the content and never miss a thing!

NOTE:
This workshops does NOT include toile fittings. We ask that everyone come with a toiled and modified pattern. If you need help with your pattern you will be able to ask for help on the workshops discussion board.

We ask that if you have not taken our Fitting Workshop to send a picture of your modified pattern pieces by August 28th.

This workshop will be available to all students until May 31st, 2023, after which a subscription can be purchased to continue accessing the course. The subscription can be cancelled at any point.
