You’ll need 2-3 meters of woven fabric.
The pattern works in a whole range of fabrics from thick denim, coat fabric or thin cotton for more of a shirt weight. Avoid stretchy fabrics.
We will send exact fabric details once you have booked so you can go shopping! We also have a small selection of fabrics and trims in the studio which you can also purchase from us.
The fabric must be washed before the first lesson to prevent any shrinking after sewing. A normal 30-degree wash is perfect.
All other tools and equipment will be provided, but you’re welcome to bring along your own sewing machine if you prefer.

We will be using Friday Pattern Company’s Ilford Jacket pattern.
The patten comes in sizes XS (32”/81cmchest) to 7XL (60”/152cm chest)
A copy of the pattern is inclusive with the course price. We will have the pattern printed ready for you to use in the class and you will receive the digital file you can download and use again and again!
