Jacket Pattern Class
Three 2-day workshops. The first will guide you through drafting your personalised jacket block pattern, styled and fitted to suit you and / or another.
Jacket Pattern Class
Summary: You will learn how to draft a tailored jacket pattern that is individually styled and fitted to you, for you, in this relaxed yet informative class.
You will learn easy sew techniques to achieve a stunning finish.
Once created, this pattern can be made in as many different fabrics as you like, creating totally different jackets for varying occasions. For exmple: Making it in 100% tartan wool versus a linen, denim or a print will change the jacket created and the occasion it suits. ‘Tweaking’ the length, the collar or adding a pocket or two, again increasing the versatility and multiple results possible from your drafted pattern!
From this course, you will leave with a jacket pattern that is to your design - created to enhance your features in a fit that is personalized to you, for you, just as you like / want it.
