tailoring classes & COURSES | SYDNEY
You can master the exquisite workmanship and fine sewing skills that were once passed down through generations of European bespoke tailors. Our tailoring classes (for intermediate to advanced sewers) cover both menswear and womenswear and you can choose to make a tailored jacket, a tailored coat or tailored pants.
Tailored Jacket
Sew a classic jacket using hand worked canvas interlining, machine finished canvas or fused interlining techniques.
Tailored Coat or Overcoat
A beautiful overcoat is a timeless garment that should last you a lifetime. It’s worth the effort to learn the tailoring skills to make one that fits you perfectly - and worth investing in a luxury fabric.
Tailored pants
Sew a classic interlined flat front or pleated pant with welt pockets, a faced fly and side seam pockets (mens or womens).
Tailoring Courses: Bespoke Jacket, Coat, or Pants
Master the art of bespoke tailoring with our specialised tailoring classes in Sydney. Learn the expert techniques required to craft a perfectly fitted tailored jacket, coat, overcoat or tailored pants — skills once reserved for European and Saville Row master tailors.
Our tailoring courses are structured around your project, allowing you to focus on tailored pants, a tailored coat or a tailored jacket. Of course, you can undertake all three! Whether you're refining your suit-making skills or perfecting an overcoat, each course provides one-on-one teacher support, ensuring precision, craftsmanship and attention to detail.
Bring your chosen commercial pattern and gain hands-on experience constructing collars, sleeves, pockets, buttonholes, and trims. Every piece will be personally fitted by our expert design staff, with tailored guidance to help you achieve an exceptional fit and professional finish. All essential finishing materials, along with step-by-step guidance, will be provided at our Sydney studio. We’re more than happy to provide guidance on your fabric selection and point you in the right direction for quality suppliers.
Designed for advanced sewers, our tailoring classes offer a flexible, work-at-your-own-pace structure. To achieve true perfection, students are encouraged to take their time — completing their tailored jacket coat or pants over two terms.
Unlock the secrets of bespoke tailoring and create exceptional garments with precision and confidence.
