Your Tailoring Academy
How did it go yesterday? Did you finish those two pattern pieces? Great! So let’s continue our pattern-making!
Remember that the pattern-pieces we have to make for this denim jacket are quite many. Actually fourteen of them! Here’s a list…
Let’s dig into how to construct a pattern! Today’s just the soft warm-up, so we will only concentrate on the basics. See it as an intro, and then practice on your technique for tomorrow’s next lecture!
In summer season, when you go for strong silhouettes and good quality garments, you also want the colors to shine bright!
When planning your collection it’s important that your colors gives a strong message of coherence. The fabrics should not represent everything – they should tell your story!
Got these images refreshed for me this weekend. It’s from one of my former student’s work – actually it’s a part of his exam project at my academy. His name is Torbjörn Bergström. I think the garments are so beautiful and a perfect example of well cut and crafted tailoring. The inspiration was Art Deco and the model’s name is Mille. The pictures are from around the turn of the century.
There are a lot of different techniques to master while tailoring and creating clothes, and also many decisions to make. A lot of them centers around quality. Do you want a quick fix, or do you want to reach a higher standard.
