Incredibly enjoyable and empowering!I had been eyeing off the Jasika Blazer many years before I jumped in and signed up for the online class!! My only regret is waiting so long! Heather explains the steps in a clear and easy to understand manner - while remaining highly encouraging and enthusiastic the whole way! The pattern is drafted beautifully - and the online course is clear and well filmed which makes the entire process so rewarding! I know I will be making another beautiful blazer - after such a successful first toile and then blazer.

I can honestly say that this is my proudest make to date! I've been sewing since I was a about 8 so that's quite a statement.I have done some tailoring before - welt pockets and the like but this was the first time I have made a blazer using wool. The wool I chose was quite thick and that itself caused me to panic but I loved the way Heather Lou reassured me about fabric choice. This course is like sewing along with a friend. She guides you through every stage and you can submit questions and comments along the way. Her attention to detail is fantastic and I think that the tips really helped me sew with great care and precision. All of this equals a great product. Thanks to all involved in creating this resource. I would highly recommend it anyone who is interested in upping their sewing game.

Wonderful Classic Pattern.

Really enjoyed making this. The pattern is so well drafted. The tailoring kit was convenient and easier than tracking down all the bits and pieces. I also bought the (“video”) class which was very detailed and had lots of excellent tips. I’ve since revisited the video to apply tops to other makes.

Incredible Class

SOOO HELPFUL, truly could not completed the blazer without it. I have been sewing garments for a while but have never tailored anything and was so nervous to start. The class helped me build confidence and taught me so many helpful hints. I really appreciated the teacher explaining why we were doing certain things because that helps me learn and retain the information for later projects!

Can't recommend this class enough!

This class made an intimidating project approachable! I highly recommend it to anyone that wants an introduction to tailoring. I'd say if you're worried you're too much of a beginner to do this, you can! I definitely wouldn't consider myself advanced, but if you follow each step with Heather Lou, you'll be fine. Only critique I'd have to say is that the pattern has very fitted armholes so if you're someone who likes to wear oversized shirts like me, I'd recommend making them bigger.

Fantastic!!

Heather Lou is such a wonderful teacher and I will absolutely recommend this class to everyone who wish to expand their sewing world. I've learned so much, and came out with a beautiful blazer! I can't wait to begin my next blazer prosject and do some more pressing with Heather Lou:)

Jasika jacket

Such a brilliant class. I love Heather‘s teaching style and wonderful tips. I can highly recommend it as I‘ve learned so much. Thank you for guiding me through my first tailored jacket.

It is absolutely perfect

I purchased the course intending to make a men's blazer first. I just finished it, and I know this won't be my last blazer! The pattern I bought on Etsy for the men's blazer was really bad, but thanks to this course, I was able to correct it and redraw some pattern pieces, as well as draw all the interfacing pieces. The course provides enough detail to achieve a beautiful result without being overwhelming. I've been sewing for three years, and this blazer, along with the other two pieces of the men's suit that I sewed, are the best and most professional-looking items I've made so far. This course is the best investment I've made in my entire sewing journey. Thank you, Closet Core, for the work you do.
