tailored pants Course Details
On enrolment you will receive information concerning suitable patterns and where to source suitable materials. Fine wool, cotton, linen and hemp fabrics are available for order from the academy and these options will be made available to you during the first session.
You may return for a second or further terms if you don't finish your garment in the first term or would like to continue on to make a tailored jacket. If you want to make welt pockets or learn the techniques to make commercial linings, it will almost certainly need more than one term.
