***This is the first class of a series of five sessions. Class takes place on Saturday, January 18th, February 15th, March 22nd & 29th and April 5th from 10:30 am – 3:30.***
Unfortunately, it isn’t possible to attend class on a single day out of a series or sign up after the first session.
Outerwear can be one of the most intimidating garment categories as you tend to wear it more often than other garments and yet few projects give you the same level of satisfaction upon completion. From working on fit to the sheer number of pieces you need to cut out, you will learn how to construct your coat and keep the entire process as streamlined and organized as possible. We will be focusing on speed tailoring and using fusible interfacing during construction.
The format of this class is different from what we usually offer as it doesn’t entirely happen on consecutive weeks to allow you additional time to complete your homework. Class is a total of 5 days plus a project consultation for over 25 hours of in depth instruction. The first couple days will focus on altering your muslins to better fit you and transferring those changes back to the pattern pieces. During the remaining days we will work on your coats. In addition, you will need to meet with the instructor ahead of the first class for assistance with determining what size to make (think about what layers you may want to wear under your coat), fabric choice and what pieces you will need to cut out in muslin for the first class when we start working on fit. (It’s not all of them.)
