'Double-breasted jacket' workshop

During this workshop, you will create an outfit with sawing sleeves. Students will learn how to take measurements, make a template, and calculate shrinking as well as learning how to make a felt jacket double-breast. In addition, students will learn how to make straight edges, the three-dimensional product on a flat template, using felt technologies. Moreover, participants will learn how to easily transform the template from a jacket into a comfortable dress with pockets or a coat.

Learning outcomes

During the workshop, participants will gain comprehensive knowledge in the following areas:
● How to accurately take measurements for garment construction.● Building shoulder patterns tailored for felting, based on individual measurements. This skill empowers participants to create patterns for others as well.● Modeling on a basic pattern and designing various clothing models. It's important to note that a diverse range of silhouettes can be achieved using a basic pattern.● Properly and proportionally increasing patterns while accounting for different wool shrinkage coefficients.● Preparing wool layouts using various techniques, including the cloud method. The cloud method ensures consistent shrinkage and results in a soft, easily draped fabric.● Creating a double-breasted jacket featuring a one-piece felted Galiev collar.● Working with a sander to achieve specific textures and effects in felted garments.● Different volumetric felting methods to add depth and dimension to the creations.● Crafting felt products with smooth and straight edges, achieving a polished finish.● Designing and constructing garments tailored to individual figures and personal designs.● By the end of the workshop, participants will have developed a strong foundation in felting techniques and garment construction, enabling them to create beautifully designed and well-fitted felted clothing pieces.
