Dear fellow tailor,
Mowgli and I must raise £100,000 by 1 October 2025 to start our "Alterations Video Library" project. We need your support today.
This FREE library will have 200+ videos of individual alterations, indexed by seam. Each video shows a fitting problem, followed by the pattern corrections and final results with side-by-side comparisons.
You will learn to fit in minutes, not days. This will be the most important tailoring project of the century. And you can be part of it by funding it today.
If you ever wanted to change the world, now is your chance. Please join us in making a giant leap in the history of tailoring education.
Thank you,
Reza, Founder of International School of Tailoring
Watch this snippet from Lesson 34. The videos in The Alteration Library will be an enhanced version of this presentation style. This library will make fittings as easy as finding directions with GPS.

Hi Martin,
That canvas padding looks great to me. It's been a little while since I watched Reza's video on this step, and he might have covered it, but I'm wondering about the seams along the edge of the fabric. All of the stitches "on the fabric" repeat the same deviated herringbone pattern, but the pattern along the edge changes, is that intentional or simply the result of getting to the end of a row and filling in the space with whatever stitch length and angle best lines up the next row? I'm guessing it's the latter.
