Drafting a Jacket/Coat

Service Description

This class is the foundational piece for drafting various jacket and coat styles. Using our sloper/basic block, we will create both jacket and coat shells with a fitted, one-piece sleeve. The draft (your choice of jacket or coat) will be mocked up in muslin and fitted. We will move on to draft patterns for a three panel jacket and two-piece fitted sleeve. You will learn to draft various lapel shapes, including shawl collars, notched collars and others. We will draft vents, pockets and all the necessary internal pieces. These include facings, interfacing, stays and lining. We expect to expand upon this class in the future by offering variations. These will include jackets such as denim jackets, bomber jackets, princess style and double breasted, etc as well as different coat styles. These choices will be dependent upon interest/requests.
