Chanel Jacket

Intermediate to Advanced

Iconic.

The Chanel-style jacket is one of fashion's most iconic garments — and one of the most rewarding things you'll ever sew.

In this two-day workshop, industry expert Tony Bertone takes you through the couture techniques behind this classic jacket, from fitting and construction through to the hand finishing details that make it truly special.

You'll bring your own boucle fabric and leave with a beautifully finished jacket — and a set of skills you'll use for the rest of your sewing life.
