Advanced Sewing Course on Making a Bomber Jacket / Module 5

The Bomber Jacket Sewing Course is the 5th module of the year-long in-house sewing course, which is divided into two parts – beginner (modules 1 to 3) and advanced (modules 4 to 6).

In the 5th module of the advanced sewing course, we will try sewing a bomber jacket. This course serves as a good transition between sewing shirts and winter coats, as it combines the majority of skills from both garments. The key difference is that the bomber jacket is lined, but the lining process is simpler than that of a winter coat.

5th Module Dates:

• Wednesday, March 5, from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM
• Thursday, March 6, from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM
• Friday, March 7, from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM
• Wednesday, March 12, from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM
• Thursday, March 13, from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM
• Friday, March 14, from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM

Prerequisite:
YES, prior knowledge is required. This course is suitable for participants who have already attended the beginner modules (1-3) of the year-long sewing course or have gained similar knowledge elsewhere. The program is intended for those aged 14 and older and is not suitable for beginners.

• Material Guidelines:
  
  Material is not included in the course fee!
  
  For making the bomber jacket, you will need:

- Base fabric: (suitable for heavier, non-stretch fabrics such as cotton twill, wool, nylon, polyester, etc.) twice the length of the jacket + 50 cm

- Ribbing: 0.5 m

- Lining: (preferably stronger viscose lining): sleeve length + jacket length

- Zipper: separating plastic or metal zipper for jackets. The length depends on the pattern's length (it can also be bought during the course after consultation in the first meeting)

- In the textile lab, we have prepared a chart of suitable fabric patterns, which you can pick up in the lab and use as a reference when purchasing fabric.

After completing the 1st module, you are invited to participate in other modules of the year-long sewing course. See the 6th module.

*You can attend the advanced modules (4, 5, and 6) if you have the necessary prior knowledge (e.g., you have completed the beginner modules 1-3 or training in the textile lab or gained knowledge elsewhere). Advanced modules (4, 5, and 6) are NOT suitable for beginners!

*Participants who purchase at least five out of the six modules (from both the beginner and advanced courses) will receive a free year-long membership package at Center Rog, worth €390, upon presentation of the purchase certificate.

*Participants who purchase at least three modules out of the six in either the beginner or advanced course will receive a free one-month membership package at Center Rog, worth €60, upon presentation of the purchase certificate.
