Introduction Easy Guide to Sewing Jackets will teach you how to make classic

collarless jackets. You will enhance your sewing skills, gain a better

understanding of tailoring prinCiples, and ultimately, create professionallooking

j ackets. Sewers of all levels will find this information useful, but

it should be especially beneficial to those just beginning to make

j ackets or those coming back to sewing after being away for a while.

Jackets have long been one of my favorite garments, even though they

haven't always been simple to make. My first j ackets were customtailored

blazers, shaped and molded to perfection with hand stitching.

Fortunately, at the same time that my life became busier (and my

sewing hours fewer). fast-and-easy industry techniques started gaining

respectability among home sewers. We began exploiting the full

capacities of our machines, working more rapidly, and fmding ways to

become proficient with ready-to-wear techniques . My students and I

experimented with different marking techniques, fusible interfacings,

and machine-sewing where possible. I soon realized that I could

produce j ackets in far less time, with results rivaling custom tailOring

and better ready-to-wear. My sewing changed, and more and more

people began asking where I had purchased my j ackets.

Today, my j acket-making philosophy blends what I consider the best of

traditional and contemporary techniques. I haven't discarded my handsewing

needles, though I use them less frequently. Because I'm a slow

sewer, I've streamlined j acket assembly methods where possible. A

major leap in my effiCiency came when I adopted the process method.

This is a method for completing all similar tasks (such as cutting,

marking, fusing, sewing, and pressing) at one time, rather than

repeatedly working through these steps with each garment section.

Initially this approach may be confUSing, but it's really quite logical and

will soon become second nature.

Easy Guide to Sewing Jackets is organized so you can work through the

j acket-making process from the beginning stages of pattern and fabriC

selection, through decisions about interfacings and linings, to the best

sewing and pressing techniques. Where possible, the focus is on

industry methods. A professional-looking j acket is the primary objective,

and I only suggest techniques that will give quality tailoring effects.

I encourage you to read through the entire book before beginning your

project. Start slowly and follow the instructions to learn the proper

techniques. Soon you'll be experimenting with more complicated styles

and techniques-as well as acquiring a wardrobe that is uniquely yours.
