What's included in this course?
As an introduction to the course, get to know a little bit about Sandra and Urko, founders and designers of the fashion studio Lantoki. They talk briefly about their journeys through the world of fashion and their everyday sources of inspiration.
Start by familiarizing yourself with all the characteristics of a worker jacket, which you make for your final project, such as linings, topstitching, and the ideal fabrics and materials for this type of garment.
After downloading and printing your patterns, take measurements to gauge the size and calculate how much material you need. Three, two, one, let's get cutting! Learn how to place the pattern on the fabric and cut it out as well as attach the interlining before starting to sew.
Next, discover how to sew the edges on the bias with topstitching, then assemble the whole body of the jacket and add the pockets, back, shoulders, and sleeves.
To wrap things up, sew on the collar and the front facing, along with the finishing touches to the body and sleeves. Now all that's left is the buttonholes and buttons and your worker jacket is ready to sport next time you go out!
