High Fashion Finishing Level 2: Hand-sewn Buttonholes
You finish your project and realize that the thickness of the fabrics will not go through your machine?
Your machine does not allow you to make nice buttonholes?
You want to learn tailor techniques and make beautiful buttonholes entirely by hand?
This course is for you Prerequisites:
It is highly recommended to have taken the hand haute couture finishing course before attending this course.
The course includes:
- Standard thread
- A spool of super strong thread in the color of your choice
We encourage you to bring the scraps from the project on which you would like to make your buttonholes after the course. The scraps must be assembled with the same number of layers as the actual situation on the garment.
If you don’t have any scraps or project in mind, don’t worry; you will receive calico to practice your samples.
