Hello everyone, My name is Andreia Angst, and I am an enthusiast/student of tailoring/museology. Recently, I came across an antique object that I believe might be a tool used in tailoring, but I would like to confirm its function and gather more information about it. It is made of wood and has sever

dear community, just a littel tip when sewing with a dubble thread in the video. You can apply it by fixing the armhole, bast the sleeve in and sewing buttons on. Happy tailoring evertone!! Best, Martin

Just an inspiration for a collapsable tailoring board I have found on Instagram. Absolutly great when you have little space. https://www.instagram.com/p/CofEX_sJJUL/

I don't know what Reza thinks of these awards, but I enjoyed watching them. There was a surprisingly wide range of men's and women's styles. It was wonderful to see the top three winners are all young women! The competition was held at the impressive London based Merchant Taylors Hall (built in 134

From Smythe, a small Canadian company. I couldn't resist posting this as Reza loves a pagoda shoulder. I like it now too, but I think the more exaggerated style looks best on tall, slim people. I think the centre back seam, the edge of the shoulders, the sand front darts are top-stitched for more de

I just found out about 'London Shrunk' cloth. This video is a nice slice of history: https://www.britishpathe.com/asset/79140/ Something that one can do at home, apparently (hopefully we can forgo the hydraulic press with an equivalent weight of 30 tonnes).

One viewer wrote "I thought this showed excellence in everything from the making of the film, the sensitivity and choice and range of people and the pure history and long may (??) Savile Row and such people exist and flourish." Some viewers will recognize some of the well-known personalities in

For me, the end result was a bit of an anticlimax (looked like a bin-liner left too close to the radiator), but what do I know. Anyway, an interesting glimpse into the future of fitting and design. At the very least, the industry will minimise waste: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjdNso4IY8Q

I have a library copy of her book Pattern Cutting Techniques for Ladies' Jackets. (2017). Anyone interested in tailoring women's jackets may want to take a look at this book. It includes instructions for flat pattern drafting a variety of suit styles including collars, lapels, and templates. She als

I discovered Belu on Zoe Hong's Youtube channel. Belu demonstrated how to sew two types of pockets for high-quality clothes. She wrote a book for the apparel industry demonstrating how to sew 600 types of seams. Like Reza, she goes into a lot of detail and loves to demonstrate using visual material.

Good day fellow aspiring tailors! This post is a very short tip that I wish to issue to all of you who are getting started and don't quite yet have the confidence or finances to acquire a professional gravity fed or boiler steam iron. One of the core advantages of these types of iron systems is th

I have good luck with my sister taking me to Singapore early next year. So I watch as much about Singapore as I can. I came across this YouTube video about a young couple who are only 1 of 10 remaining businesses in the world making bespoke ties (pocket squares and some scarves). They are self-taug

The following is a clever way of creating pointed straps/tabs on materials too thick to be bagged. Her channel is really informative BTW: https://youtube.com/shorts/LMZ38XpHGKw?feature=share

American couturier designer, author and teacher Kenneth D King made this tab welt pocket. I'm obsessed with welt pockets. I'm hoping someone can tell me how it's made. I'm wondering if it's simpler than it looks - just a faux welt pocket??

Very curious to see the pattern of all the separate pieces of this armour!

I wonder how an advanced AR system like this could improve student learning with online classes! Imagine augmenting areas that should be gathered or stretched on the materials that students have in front of them. Or perhaps a troubleshooting walkthrough of the most common student problems!
