This course gets better all the time. I can't believe my luck to come across it. Nothing like this existed when I was a kid; my life could have been very different. However, I'm on board now. A happy way to spend retirement.
Wow! This was so good. You are the first video that has mentioned that sawdust can get moldy. For that alone, this video was sooo worth watching. Thank you very much!
What a fantastic thorough video. Brilliant educational and entertaining resource. Love the fact you left the thread breaking in and used it as a teaching tool.
Very nice and edifying video, appreciate the detailed instruction from start to finish and this young man’s pleasant voice! Absolutely recommend this video to beginners and vintage learners as well ❣️❣️🥰🫶
Thanks for the very clear instructions Reza! I didn't quite get the name of the fabric you used for the outer layer. Did you mention muslin please? And can I use thick denim if the one you used in this instructional video isn't available in my region?
Moleskin is the name. Thick denim works as well if it doesn't leave any impressions on your lining during pressing. On our website, you'll find a list of suppliers in different regions. Reza
Hi Reza! I was wondering on a scale of 1-10 how necessary would you say the wool felt lining is? Using my own custom patterns I have created four different tailors ham inner bags and filled them fully with sawdust. Before I sew and cover them with the exterior fabric, I’m wondering if I should baste some wool felt onto them.
What if... you made a pattern for a close-fitting blocker for just the neck and shoulders of your mannequin, including the neck, and then made a pattern to close the bottom so that it can sit flat. Use the pattern to construct a "ham" that is the same shape as the mannequin, and filled it with fiber or sawdust from the top (through the neck opening), and close that off with a circle of fabric? You would end up with a neck-and-shoulder replica that you could work with at the table.
Is tailoring machine essential? Just went this lesson and found I haven't got one, but it's hard to make the rest of the progress and jacket only by hands isn't it? Thank you again for the brilliant work!
Indeed it has a different purpose. You could perfectly add a layer of felt. It usually ends up firmer than the round or oval ham, hence the reduction of an additional layer which only complicates the process. Reza.
Very well instructions ❤ l will make the Hams and secondly,l want to start learning to make the bespoke coat l am looking for lesson 1 am sorry am not seeing it.pls help
You can indeed measure the length of your gusset but multiplying the radius (your compass width) by 2 and again by 3.14. Most hams are usually bigger than the radius of a compass, unless you have a very large compass :) Reza
Wow! I anticipated detail but not to this level. I have a few questions given I live in a fabric 'desert' near Vancouver Canada. #1. By felt do you mean 100% wool felt? An internet link says there are 5 types ranging from varying degrees of pure wool to mixed wool/synthetic to 100% synthetic. How would 100% synthetic handle steam? I have the same question about moleskin. I've only found 100% moleskin in Great Britain. #2. Are the sizes of the ham patterns the same as you showed us in your previous videos? They look smaller to me. I realize we can enlarge them if we want. But can you tell us approximately what size the ones you use are? #3. Why did you suggest that Ham # 2 didn't necessarily need felt? #4. I know I'm jumping ahead but it may take me quite a while to source all of the supplies needed. What weight of felt is used for an undercollar used on a wool suit, plus what fabric is used for a linen or heavy cotton suit?
1. If you're making a ham, synthetic or synthetic blends will be fine as well. 100% wool felt is ideal but can be expensive. The felt should be as dense and firm as possible. 2. Sizes can be found on our website. 3. The long ham can also use felt. Nothing wrong with that. My reason for it was to simplify the construction. 4. Midweight felt or Melton. 1/2 mm thick. 300gr - 350gr, 15-25 Oz. It all depends on how thick your fabric is. If you're using a flannel, you can easily use the flannel as a substitute for felt or Melton. Reza.

I'm very happy about this Linda:)

You're welcome Rose. Glad you found the video useful!
Reza
What a fantastic thorough video. Brilliant educational and entertaining resource. Love the fact you left the thread breaking in and used it as a teaching tool.
Thank you and you're most welcome!
We break the threads all the time, why leave something as natural as that out? :)
Reza
Love these clear instructions. I thought of myself as an experienced seamstress, but I’ve learned some nice techniques here. Thank you!
I'm very happy that you found some value here Laura. Thank you for tuning in.
Reza
Thank you so much!
Dziękuję bardzo!
🇵🇱
Great, this is what I've been waiting for. Very detailed explanation, thank you so much for showing us how to make it 😭😭✨
Enjoy! :)
Reza
Thanks sooo very much for sharing your knowledge, loved this video!❤️❤️❤️
You’re welcome Deidra. Enjoy😊
Reza.
Thanks for the video. I used cork bits (1-5mm) from amazon. It smells very nice and can take the moisture better than saw dust.
Pleasure is all mine. How have you found it so far?
Cork is water repellent :(
I'm curious about the scent though :)
Reza
Fab thank you 🙏 😊
That was a great explanation thank you Reza👏Let's start with the homework 😀
Thank you so much Reza 🙏

Verry useful videos! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Will there be an episode for pattern drafting of the the jacket ?
Thank you. Yes indeed, there will be an episode for drafting a jacket. We'll get there.
Reza
Thank you so much ❤❤

Hola!! me encantan tus clases :) Ojalá alguien sepa con qué nombre puedo conseguir esa tela en Chile
¡Hola! ¡De nada!
Quizás puedas contactar a nuestros amigos de Chile en Instagram @sartoriasur y ver si pueden ayudarte.

You could perfectly do that!
It will make pressing slightly difficult with a flat iron but please go for it:)

Thank you again for the brilliant work!
I would highly recommend a sewing machine, domestic or industrial.
Reza
Hi Reza this is likely a very silly question, but are any of these materials for the ham(s) included in the purple box?
Hello!
No they are not unfortunately. And your question is perfectly valid:)
Reza
Which lesson does the suit making starts?
I realize the long narrower ham has a different purpose than the round or oval one. But why doesn't the longer narrower ham need a layer of felt?
Indeed it has a different purpose. You could perfectly add a layer of felt. It usually ends up firmer than the round or oval ham, hence the reduction of an additional layer which only complicates the process.

Is there a difference in women and mens coat
Why not just use a compass?
Hey m new here whereshould i start?
On the pattern couldn’t you use a compass and measure your circle then multiply by 3.14 and it’ll give you the gusset?
You can indeed measure the length of your gusset but multiplying the radius (your compass width) by 2 and again by 3.14.

i am pretty sure he mnetioned that wool is preferable but synthetic felt is also ok in the first video when talking about the board
