In this three-session class, Elisa will teach a more modern technique of tailoring…. speed tailoring. Using a combination of light and medium weight interfacing and various seam tapes, this method creates the structure and look we want in a well-made garment. We will add structure to the chest and shoulders by layering interfacing. Welted pockets will be featured and demonstrated to get the results you want. We will stack and set-in sleeves and spend time setting the roll of the lapels and collar. You will enjoy this method and find it is NOT time consuming or frustrating. It is straight forward and can be applied to any jacket or coat you make in the future. We will work step by step together resulting in a garment that you can be proud to wear and will cherish.
