A live online class teaching the construction of a bespoke cutting pattern for the classic men's tailored waistcoat. No previous experience needed. Literature provided.

This class is dedicated to the drafting of the bespoke pattern from scratch. Based on actual body measurements, rather than using pre-fabricated blocks, the course teaches the art of cutting for the individual - yourself or a customer.

This online class takes place on Thu 20th February 2025, 10:00am to 1:00pm UK time. 

Participants will be able to create their own patterns using the literature we provide with the class. Measurements are in the metric system.

Please note this class is suitable for figures with a waist measurement that is smaller than the chest measurement. Please get in touch if in doubt.

To enhance the online experience, we draft in small scale, on A3 paper. A measuring tape and set of instructions are provided prior to the course.

Included in the fee:

• Your complete cutting pattern in 1:3 scale
• The skill to repeat the draft for anyone, anytime
• Written instructions for future reference
• A recording of the lesson for download
