This advanced skill-building class tackles all the essentials (read: tricky nitty gritty details!) of sewing a tailored jacket with a notched collar. Put your tailoring to the test as you learn how to bag a lining, clean finish vents, sew welt pockets with a flap, insert two piece sleeves with a shoulder pad and more. This class is capped at 3 people as we believe it requires a high level of one on one attention. An intermediate knowledge of sewing is recommend for this workshop.
This class is 10 weeks long and each class is 3hrs.
