I have today procured rafters to aid me in #roofing a building unit to serve as #vocationalskills classroom.
We are intensifying our vocational skills initiatives and dedicating a home on campus for these activities. #tailoring , #carpentry, #buildingandconstruction , #fineart and #craftmaking are top on the agenda.

Giving our learners extra vocational skills to their learning opens their horizons to success more.

With Science, we can progress

Here are completion pix of Nick’s #PinstripeTrousers. With a cut-on waistband and fly and oodles of hand stitching, they are a love letter to classic #tailoring. More details in the alts. #sewing #fashion #ElfkinCouture

The quest to learn the Palmer/Pletsch fitting method continued this morning. Denny came into the workroom so that Kane and I could practice with a mens shirt bodice. We went from zero to a near perfect fit in 90 minutes.

That's how long it usually takes just to get all of the measurements for all other drafting methods.

As Shakespeare once wrote, "I'm shooketh." #tailoring #sewing

I’m about to turn into a pumpkin, but Nick’s #PinstripeTrousers are nearly done with the waistband now closed and the belt loops tacked down. Pinstripes + cut-on waistband = visual magic. #sewing #ElfkinCouture #tailoring
It’s a trip to Zippertown this afternoon as I put the fly into Nick’s #PinstripeTrousers. Is the whole affair being hand sewn for maximum precision and softness? You betcha! #sewing #ElfkinCouture #tailoring
Is there, like, a #transgender #sewing / #tailoring / #dressmaking community somewhere online?
As I put in the front pockets on Jeff’s #BootyJeans, I thought I’d share this hidden detail. These are the outer pocket bags just after turning. See how the denim is cheated a bit to the inside? Once they’re topstitched around the opening, this #tailoring trick keeps the lining totally hidden. #sewing
