As of today we have completed the ladies jacket making series and Desirée has started uploading it to Vimeo.
I plan to start shooting the waistcoat tomorrow. I know many of you have been anxiously waiting for it’s release and I can say with confidence you won’t have to wait too much longer.
The waistcoat should be a quicker series to record, edit and produce as it is a simpler garment to make.
I recognise I am not on track to deliver all I had hoped for 2021 but I am confident that by early next years we will have plenty of content to keep you all satiated.
It is my hope that we will have a Tailcoat, Overcoat and Dinner Jacket series available during 2022. You’ll need the skills and experience from the coat making series to tackle each of these garments.
I have promised my father a Covert coat for Christmas last year, so maybe this will be the year he gets to wear it. If you’ve read my previous post I did mention a Dinner Jacket for a wedding. Its not compulsory but it would be nice to have something close to it to wear.
If you would indulge me for a moment,
what is the next series after the waistcoat that you would like to see?
I would love to see/learn how to make the higher waisted brace-top trousers. Maybe with no fusing and more options/details for various leg figurations.
I would also second the double breasted waistcoat.
I would also be interested in a country jacket of some kind, maybe a shooting jacket, or more casual garment with patch pockets and the like.
Very excited about all the content. Thank you for teaching us and sharing your knowledge.
