TOOLS
Freezer Paper
The best pattern paper. Iron on a wool setting and it sticks to fabric. Reusable, durable, and transparent enough for tracing.
Tracing Wheel
Spokes aren't too sharp and it works well to trace a temporary line on fabric or paper.
Wavy Rotary Blade
Use in place of pinking shears, quickly trim outside edges of circles.

About the Event
Take the mystery out of tailoring and practice solid tailoring techniques like welt pockets, sleeve vents, and more … including bound buttonholes. You’ll learn to work with horsehair, establish lapel roll lines, and “bag the lining” for an all-in-one way to finish any lined garment.
We’ll work together on full-size samples. During class, you can sew along with Leah, or you can watch the class and sew samples later. In the end, you’ll have built a reference library of techniques—and built your confidence—so you can apply these techniques to any wool jacket or coat pattern.
Leah is honored to present these techniques that she learned from her sewing mentor, Judy Barlup of Unique Techniques.
Class is offered through Bainbridge Artisan Resource Network. Join BARN and get all the benefits of membership, including discounts on classes like this!
This class will use small samples of wool, we recommend using remnants, but you can find beautiful wools at our favorite island fabric store: Esther's Fabrics.
