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

Tailoring Books
Books are a primary resource for many tailoring students and practitioners. Most tailors are self-taught, with books playing a vital role in their education. However, the similarity of tailoring books makes it difficult to quickly note the differences between them. Also, vague instructions make the evaluation of their true worth very difficult. Fortunately, there's a solution.
​
Some books have withstood the test of time, proving to be invaluable references for both amateurs and professionals. Our video explains a systematic approach to navigating these books.
​
As part of our commitment to making bespoke tailoring accessible worldwide, we've compiled a collection of tailoring and pattern-making books available as free pdf downloads.
This curated list serves as a valuable reference for tailoring apprentices, home sewers, fashion students, and professionals.
Watch Reza explain the 3 ways you can study tailoring books for effective learning.
