Garment 305: Blazers (Session 2/5)
***This is the second class of a series of five sessions. Class takes place on Saturday, February 7th, March 14th, 21st & 28th and April 4th 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.
A blazer can elevate virtually any outfit regardless of what you’re wearing underneath it. A blazer can take your “jeans and a t-shirt” outfit from casual to business and easily transitions from day to night. It conveys confidence and polish all wrapped up in a timeless garment. Naturally this is all amplified when you’ve made it yourself and it fits you perfectly.
During class while working on fit, cutting out all the pieces of outer fabric, lining, interfacing and usually even more interfacing(?!), you will learn how to construct your blazer and keep the entire process as streamlined and organized as possible. We will be focusing on speed tailoring and using fusible interfacing during construction. You will learn how to create sharp lapels and welt pockets, soft shawl collars and how to insert the lining depending on how much hand sewing you choose to do.
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 day 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 jackets.
