Class Preview
Modern styling meets Old-World tailoring techniques as you sew an heirloom-quality blazer with high-end details that even the most seasoned sewers will swoon over. Note: Pattern not included.
Introduction
Meet your instructor, Steffani Lincecum, and learn more about the features of the classic blazer you’ll be making.
Customizing the Pattern
Steffani discusses how to reinforce your jacket pattern pieces with muslin or hair canvas, add a vent to the sleeve design and mark your fabric.
Jacket Fronts
A perfect bound buttonhole and a hand-stitched lapel will give your blazer an elegance you will never find in ready-to-wear. Steffani shows you her techniques.
The Undercollar
Learn about roll of cloth and how to prepare the undercollar so the seams won’t show. Pad-stitching by hand will give your collar its structure and character.
Assembling the Body
Learn more about interfacing and wigan as you sew together the body pieces and join the shoulders.
Collar, Sleeves & Pockets
The collar is the most important part of the blazer to get right, as any imperfections will be obvious. Steffani shows how to get the smoothest lines, and how to sew the sleeves and add pockets.
A Time to Fit
There’s still time to make small fit adjustments as you prepare to finish your jacket. Steffani shows how to tweak the fit and check the seams, shoulders, lapels and hem.
Assembling the Lining
You’ll put together the jacket lining and learn how to get smooth shoulders. A little hand-stitching to secure the facing adds a special touch.
Collar & Lapels
Your blazer is nearly finished! Now’s the time to attach the collar, linings and facings, and get those lapels looking just right..
Finishing Touches
Steffani walks you through the last few steps to complete your blazer, including tacking the roll line, finishing the lining and buttonholes, adding topstitching and buttons. After a final press, your blazer is ready for you to wear with pride!
