Tailored Jacket:
The Tailoring Techniques of Kenneth D. King
Tailored Jacket is an e-book documenting the process of creating a tailored jacket, from the cutting out to the finishing. With over 300 photos illustrating techniques in detail, the book covers among others
- Materials and tools
- Patternmaking to create the linings, facings, and other corollary pieces so that all pieces fit together perfectly
- Interlinings
- Complete construction of the garment, with "sidebars" at different points in the process. For example:
- The perfect way to ease a sleeve cap
- Constructing the notch lapel, as well as the shawl lapel.
- Handling uneven shoulders
- Constructing the lining, including installing the hidden lining pocket and piping

Thank you so much for the giveaway. I'm planning on making a pea coat this year (my first attempt at a coat) from a very cool 70s pattern! I think this book would be an ideal 'tutor' for me as I think that all the techniques would apply to jacket or coat. I know it would be extremely useful so it would be just lovely to win this book. Thank you.
