Men's Tailoring (Individual) Classes
These classes are designed for those who are interested in developing the skills necessary for tailoring men's trousers and vests, using easy to learn secrets and techniques to make pockets, closures, fly zipper, waistbands, and finishing details.
Students start out learning the theory behind tailoring, then move on to a repertoire of techniques to build a reference file, making samples, then whole garments. And since classes are small, students are given the opportunity to thoroughly develop and master the practical skills and knowledge necessary to work in the industry or to start business for him/herself
You could be 18 or 80 years old, it's never too early or too late to get your fashion career going!
