Catching Up and Exciting New Plans!!!

The last few months have been a WHIRLWIND! I've mostly been on Facebook and Instagram but  will go back to to posting regularly on my blog. I have enjoyed the last few months. I've been working with plenty of students in my Savannah studio and I've been able to extend my teachings elsewhere.

(Here I am working with my wonderful student Ashley! She comes all the way from S.C. to visit every week!)

I LOVE hands on training with my students. Whether they come weekly or spend a block of time with me I LOVE having them around. I love passing "the craft" on to others. I've even started "One Day Visits". I have several students who have a hard time pulling away from their hectic schedules and this works great. It's amazing what you can learn even in a day's time.


I've also been doing alot of filming. For those who want to come to me and can't well I'm making sure I get the instruction to you. I have several new courses available and have been receiving RAVE reviews on them. You can choose from mini courses (mostly alterations) or Full courses such as my Tailored Vest or Matching Plaid courses. You can see my line up HERE

 As most of you know recently I was able to join forces with Mimi G and teach a Tailored Jacket Construction Shortcuts video.

 Chatting it up with Mimi before giving her the custom jacket I made for her using her Simplicity pattern. 

 It fit perfectly and she sure does look great in that color!

 I have around 130 Ladies sign up for my class so it was a PACKED house! Such great energy and questions!!! They really enjoyed it and I enjoyed them!

I've been receiving countless of requests to visit and keep producing videos and courses so that's exactly what I will keep doing. Anything to make you Guys happy. Sharing my wealth of knowledge with you just brings me life. I also have some EXCITING projects in the works and will be divulging soon so stay tuned. I can't believe it's already July and time is passing quickly. There's lots to be done! What project have you been doing and getting in to?

My Tailored VEST course is HERE!!!

I'm sorry I've been away for a minute. But I've been keeping you all in mind as I recorded my Tailored Vest Course!!! That's right, you asked for it and I've delivered! When I requested the course you guys want to see there was an overwhelming response for my Tailored Vest Course. So I've gone and done it. The course is NOW available. I show you how to construct a vest with tailored excellency in less then 2 hours. My methods are different then most instructions so you'll find them refreshing, surprisingly easy and very effective! You definitely want to get this course! You won't be disappointed.  You can use this course to make vests for men, women, boys and girls! You can access the course and other courses at this link....  https://gumroad.com/gentlemanjim/
. The Course is ON SALE for $24.95, regularly $39.95! You can't beat that deal!!!

Here's a commercial for it here!!!

I wanted to personally thank you all for pointing me in this direction. I LOVE teaching and sharing my shortcuts and tailoring talents with all I meet! I have some more courses in the pipeline. If you want to see something specific please let me know in the comments section. And don't forget to get your copy of THE TAILORED VEST COURSE!!!!

Joining Forces with MimiG!!!

Hello Everyone! Forgive me for being away. I've been doing alot of filming (I have some online courses coming out---details soon), been hanging out on Facebook (see the link to my page on the right of my blog) and I have some exciting plans in the works. One exciting plan is I'm teaming up with Mimi G to be a presenter at her 4th Annual Fashion, Sewing and Style Conference. Although the conference has sold out you can find details HERE. I'll be giving a workshop on constructing a Tailored Jacket. I'm SUPER excited to be able to showcase some of my signature techniques & short cuts and I'm delighted that Mimi G asked me as I greatly appreciate her efforts to motivate and inspire others. I hope I get to meet some of you all. Please let me know if you plan to attend. Again, I'm excited about this opportunity and look forward to this wonderful opportunity:) Also, to get updates on my upcoming online courses please sign up HERE at https://gumroad.com/gentlemanjim/follow.

Tie Sew-Along: Final Sessions 3 & 4 (6 videos included)

Sorry for the delay folks but here are the FINAL Tie Sew-Along videos.

(screenshot from one of the videos. You'll find all 6 below)

There are 6 videos, yes 6, below and I show you how I sew the lining on the tie, baste it together and then do the final sewing using my fellon stitch. I also have helpful advice on how to work with slippery tie fabrics. Of course you can go back and view my Session #1 videos HERE and Session #2 videos HERE. I was delighted to put this together and share this information with you all.  Be on the lookout my Tailored Vest Online course. It's coming soon. Enjoy the videos.....

Made 2 More Fancy Vests!

I had to interrupt the last segment of the Tie Sew-Along so I could show you 2 vests I made for one of my favorite clients. One is a deep burgundy velour vest (that's right, velour. It's what he wanted) and the other is a white polyester fabric vest. He likes his vest with specific pocket placement and lapel style---it's his signature. Of course it only takes me about an hour to whip one of these up. Wonder how I do it so fast. Well you'll have to wait and see when I offer my Men's Vest Tutorial Course----DETAILS ON THE WAY. You'll get all on the juicy details on how I'm able to make these so fast and so flawlessly. Enough about that for now---see my client's vest pictures below!

 (Burgundy velour vest before buttons)

 (Took pics outside so you could see the details better)

(Finished product---perfect!)

Tie Sew-Along Session 2---Laying and Cutting Out Your Tie

We are nearing the end of the Tie Sew-Along. Just one more session to go. In this, session 2 I'll cover why it's so hard for most people to sew a tie pattern and how my strategy of using an actual tie and deconstructing it and using it's tie filler is one of the easiest methods to use in creating a tie. One thing that I address in the video that I don't want to confuse anyone is which part of the tie to machine sew and which part to hand sew. The tie will only be sewn where the linings are added at both ends. Otherwise you'll be following your deconstructed tie's "roll lines" so you'll know how to fold the tie fabric in on itself before hand sewing down the middle.  Check out this video for the clarification and details.

Now let's move on to laying out the tie pattern and cutting it out. Here you'll learn about the importance of cutting your tie out on the bias among other important details.

Ok, now we're ready to move on to our last session which is sewing.....

We Interrupt the Regularly Scheduled Program for a Move!

Hello All!!!! Yes, today was scheduled for my next installment of my Tie-Sew Along but I had a minor interruption----I moved! That's right I had to relocate my sewing studio which meant moving 6 industrial machines, 2 industrial irons, one vacuum board, a large cutting table, tons of patterns, fabric, thread and supplies. I apologize for the interruption but it couldn't be helped.  I spent the last 4 days quickly making this happen to ensure we don't have any more interruptions in the future and I'll resume with the Tie Sew-Along on Wednesday, I promise!!! Thanks so much for your patience!!!

I ABSOLUTELY love my new sewing studio. It's spacious and I believe will be a welcoming environment for all my students and all those of you who choose to visit for  my workshops or private lessons. You won't believe it but out of my 53+ years of Master Tailoring I've moved dozens of times ---literally! There's nothing like finding the right spot.

 (Breaking down the old space. Nearly finished)

 (Old pics of the studio)

(Another view of the old studio)

 (Here's my WONDERFUL new space!!! Can you see me all the way in the back?)

  (How about now? I love the layout and space. This is the main room with more space in the back)

 (Lots to unpack and still move around. Then on to some decorating.)

 (Digging through patterns)

 (One of my prized and most envied possessions---my 12 foot custom built cutting table. I made it myself many years ago and it's traveled and moved with me so many times!)

 ("Bare bones" of my cutting table)

(Almost put together. Just have to add the dark wood top panel. FYI--I plan to extend another 8 feet on this table to have a 20ft long table!!!) 

Ok, I'm moving fast to get things all set up and as mentioned I'll be ready to send you the next Tie Sew-Along video on Wednesday! See you then:)

Also, thanks to EVERYONE who's thrilled about my BurdaStyle course and are attending it! I know there are many who desire to but can't at this moment. And I understand that. It's definitely a worthy investment and one that will be helpful to so many.  It would also make a great Christmas present as well! To quote one follower "it's about time we get exposure to a REAL Tailor". To be honest with you (can I be honest with you) I had no idea there wasn't more tailors out trying to do what I'm doing. I'm passionate about empowering others exceptional sewing and tailoring skills.  I'm delighted to share my wisdom and skill on a larger platform so that more sewers can benefit from it. Tailoring is a dying art and hopefully what I'm doing can counteract that.

Also I received some lovely pictures from my student Michele that I wanted to share. She attended my Summer Tailoring Coat workshop and completed this beautiful coat made of Blue Boucle and silk lining that she'd bought from Mood Fabrics.  She finished it with brass buttons. I love to teach and I was all too thrilled to teach Michele the in's and out's of tailoring a coat! She did a fantastic job!

Oops, before I forget I just posted another Master Tailor's Tip.,,,,, Enjoy!!!

Ok, drawing tomorrow. See you then    ~ Gentleman Jim
