Those who complete the course successfully can boost their application for a place on our full-time Level 5 Diploma or International Programme.

“These online classes have truly been a godsend. They give me a glimpse into the world of bespoke tailoring and provide an oasis of love and respect for craftsmanship, patience, and perseverance.
The tutors do a fantastic job during the live sessions, and between classes they’re quick to respond to any questions. They have the patience of saints, a great sense of humour, and you can tell they genuinely enjoy teaching.”

Building on this success, we are excited to confirm the continuation of the programme in 2026/27. Once again, we teach the individual pattern draft, the cutting and the tailoring of the classic bespoke jacket to those who want to make a start on their tailoring journey. Not holding back with the secrets of the trade, we deliver time-tested tricks you won’t find in any book. And uniquely, the curriculum offers a choice between the male and female figure types.

Starting 18th September 2026 and running through to 9th July 2027, the course offers 34 weeks of step-by-step lessons. Sessions take place Fridays 2 to 5pm UTC (+1) and recordings are made available after each to support self-study. Tutors are available in a dedicated chat channel to support participants with queries between sessions.

Suitable for participants with sewing experience, the class delivers all fundamental techniques of the bespoke tailoring process. Prior knowledge of pattern construction is not required as we guide you through the process step-by-step. The pattern construction method is repeatable and will serve you as blueprint in future projects.

IMPORTANT: this class is suitable for male and female figures with a chest circumference greater than or equal to the waist circumference. Please get in touch for guidance on figure types, or with any other queries you may have. We are happy to help!

The course fee is £1,895 incl VAT and includes comprehensive PDF literature, recordings of each live class andaccess to tutors between sessions. A payment schedule is available on request. Places are limited and allocated on a first come first serve basis to eligible candidates.
