Advanced Sewing Course on Making a Coat / Module 6

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

In the 6th module of the advanced sewing course, we will focus on sewing a coat. This course combines all the skills learned in previous courses. Pattern adjustments and modeling are more complex and take longer, as, in addition to the basic pattern, we also need to draw a fitting pattern for the lining. It is essential to correctly place pockets with flaps, determine the length of the vent, the shape and width of the sleeves, and the style lines. Sewing is more challenging as we work with thicker fabrics, often reinforced with fusible interfacing.

• Wednesday, April 2, from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM
• Thursday, April 3, from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM
