Ready to take your garment sewing skills to the next level? Join us to to make a Friday Pattern Co. Ilford Jacket in this 2-day sewing intensive!
The Ilford Jacket is a versatile style that’s modular design makes for a pattern that is simple, yet impactful. It can be customized a million different ways and really is a “choose your own adventure” type of pattern that incorporates your design sense into the project! Best of all, the pattern includes sizes XS-7X!
This jacket includes two lengths as well as a bunch of pocket templates that you can mix and match! The possibilities are endless! You can wear the Ilford as a jacket or shirt depending on the fabric you use. This is a fun, skill building pattern that you will want to make/wear again and again! This pattern is for everyone and looks great on all gender expressions!
Under the guidance of teacher Diana Rodgers, you'll learn the basics of shirt and jacket construction as you master several garment-sewing essentials.
We'll cover:
- Measuring the body accurately to create a perfect fit
- Working from a commercial pattern, including size selection, deciphering instructions, cutting from paper pattern pieces, and more
- Understanding garment sewing basics such as proper fabric prep, pinning, cutting, ironing and troubleshooting
- Becoming familiar with sewing jargon commonly found in commercial patterns
- How to construct a collar, cuffs, boxy sleeves, patch pockets, and buttonholes. Please note, we will not be covering the placket sleeve in this workshop due to time limitations.
- How to set sleeves
Intermediate sewing experience is required; YOU MUST BE COMFORTABLE WORKING ON A SEWING MACHINE INDEPENDENTLY and have sewn a few garments in the recent past.
