Sew a Proper Denim Jacket – 6 x sessions with Brooke

From: £220.00

This is not a lazy boxy shapeless jacket – This pattern has all the bells and whistles of a classic denim jacket!!

Maisa is an all-time favourite sewing pattern – I have a couple of them and they are bloody brilliant!

An unlined hip length button-down denim jacket with all the classic elements. Featuring a collar, flapped front pockets, a hem band, and cuffs. 2 piece set in sleeve with cuff opening and you can patchwork it together!

Week One – Measuring your body, cutting out your pattern from paper. Prep and lay out your fabric and cut the cloth

Week Two – Sew the front panels, pockets and pocket flaps. Make button holes for pocket flaps

Week Three – Sew back yoke and front panels and set collar.

This course is suitable for confident beginners. Those who have completed our ‘Learn to Sew’ short course and have other relevant basic sewing experience. Even thought this patter is for experienced sewers –  I have made this jacket with my after school kids – so you can do it!!

There are lots of great techniques to learn during this course which can be applied again and again in your sewing practice. We will not be doing topstitching in heavy top stitching thread – but you will do so in standard matching thread.

Questions?

Will this class be suitable for me?

Could be?  You don’t need to be an expert but you need to be comfortable threading a sewing machine, straight seams etc.

We recommend you have completed our ‘Learn to Sew’ short course first, and this is perfect for those looking to deepen their skillset including reading a commercial pattern.

I will hold your hand through everything else!

What happens if I don't finish the jacket?

Oh Rats. Thats ok, all projects take different lengths of time for different people. You are welcome to book into ‘Late night Sewing’ workshops or ‘Hire a Machine’ to complete your jacket.
