A real made to measure Chanel jacket will cost you several thousands of
pounds. The unusual techniques developed by Coco Chanel produce a jacket
that is very comfortable to wear due to the way the jacket is sewn together. Over
the two days you will work on a sample half jacket, learning the quilting
methods of Chanel. Discover how to hand finish all the linings and seams and
the hand insertion of the sleeve. You will also be shown ways to create braids
and fringes.
Material Costs: £45.00
