The Classic French Jacket

The techniques that are used to create a Classic French Jacket are, to my mind, a sub-set of traditional couture techniques.  While there are similarities to other couture projects, there are applications specific to the construction of the jacket that put this sewing project in a category of its own.  Hence, it has its own class.  Seven days are devoted to the creation of this fashion classic - and what we make is the haute couture version.  A muslin is prepared ahead of time (pattern suggestions are given, along with full instructions).  Fabric, trim and button resources are also supplied, and I have quite a range of trims (many are vintage Chanel) and buttons in the studio.
