Designed for beginners to advanced sewers, this single session replaces years of confusion, trial-and-error, and second-guessing with clarity, structure, and confidence.
This is not just a class—it’s a turning point in how you work with patterns.
Commercial sewing patterns shouldn’t feel confusing, frustrating, or limiting—but for most people, they do.
In this workshop, you’ll finally learn how to read, fit, and use patterns correctly, so your garments come out cleaner, more accurate, and truly professional.
You’ll gain a clear understanding of how to work with trusted pattern brands like Butterick, Simplicity, and Vogue—while avoiding the mistakes that lead to poor fit, wasted fabric, and disappointing results. In fact, one simple cutting mistake can cost more than this entire workshop. This class helps you prevent those errors before they happen.
You’ll also learn a proven construction order used by professionals, allowing you to build garments more efficiently and achieve polished, consistent results every time. These are not one-time techniques—they are skills you will use on every garment you make going forward.
Taught by Master Bespoke Tailor Eric W. Stiles Sr., founder of EWS Fashion Academy, this workshop brings over 40 years of high-end industry experience directly to you—including work connected to Brioni, Giorgio Armani, Polo Ralph Lauren, and Tom Ford.
