It's not quite perfect, but please bear with me, haha.



Started with something super geometrical. My pattern was satisfactory, but I had a tough time taping everything together.


Starting in on the lessons and completed my second ham!
The first one I left at my old shop, as it became an important part of daily pressings.
I made my own pattern. Basically, I wanted something like a torso to press with. I used a metal compass and a framer's square.
I went to the thrift store and got all the fabric I needed for $3.
I went to Tractor Supply and got a bag of saw dust for $8.
Inner-bag is chordoroy and flannel and the outer-bag is a super-think hunting twill.
Hello all! I’m excited to join this group and get started on my tailoring journey. I’ve been sewing for a few years but have never made a jacket. Im looking forward to learning a lot here.
Same boat, here. I've been working at a custom suit shop, so I've been doing lots of measuring, some basic in house alterations, and tons of pressing, but no jacket sewing yet.
Very excited to start! I just finished my pressing ham!!!!!!
