Dear fellow tailor,

Mowgli and I must raise £100,000 by 1 October 2025 to start our "Alterations Video Library" project. We need your support today.

This FREE library will have 200+ videos of individual alterations, indexed by seam. Each video shows a fitting problem, followed by the pattern corrections and final results with side-by-side comparisons.

You will learn to fit in minutes, not days. This will be the most important tailoring project of the century. And you can be part of it by funding it today.

If you ever wanted to change the world, now is your chance. Please join us in making a giant leap in the history of tailoring education.

Thank you,

Reza, Founder of International School of Tailoring

Watch this snippet from Lesson 34. The videos in The Alteration Library will be an enhanced version of this presentation style. This library will make fittings as easy as finding directions with GPS.

Ham #1 - Oval Ham Finished

in Your Results

First attempt at drawing a pattern with Seamly2d

I've added more notches on the actual paper pattern to better match the parts

Using 5mm hard wool felt was more complicated than I expected. My linen was not as dense woven as I wanted, but still worked. Moleskin is a really pleasant fabric to work with.

The result was kind of bigger than what I thought it'll end up from the pattern - 43-45 x 28-30 x 15-18cm

Overall, there's something very satisfying in building your own tools.

It came as a surprise to me, how physical the process is -- especially stuffing the ham. It fitted almost 4x1kg bags of saw dust in order to get dense enough. I believe this is the toughest part of building the ham.

Finished, not perfect... Ham no 2... coming soon too.
