via Craftsy

Overview

Description Create a classic fly-front coat by combining secrets of old-world tailoring with Kenneth D. King’s own innovative techniques. Learn to sew luxurious seam finishes, shape the perfect collar, and hand-finish jacket sleeves and shoulder pads to add a couture finish to a Vogue jacket pattern. You’ll also learn to draft easy design details such as in-seam pockets and an elegant half-lining to turn a simple coat into a custom masterpiece. “The Carefree Fly-Front Coat” is the perfect introduction to tailoring, taught step-by-step by one of the most respected teachers and designers in the sewing world. Important Pattern Information The sewing pattern on which this class is based — Vogue 8841 — is not included with your purchase and may be out of print — check with online retailers. This class is rich in essential sewing techniques, so if the pattern is out of print, we encourage you to look for an alternative pattern with similar style details. You might also be able to find the original pattern through a private reseller.
