Ready to take your garment sewing skills to the next level? Join us to to make a Friday Pattern Co. Ilford Jacket in this 5-week course!

The Ilford Jacket is a versatile style that’s modular design makes for a pattern that is simple, yet impactful.

You can wear the Ilford as a jacket or shirt depending on the fabric you use. This is a fun, skill building pattern that you will want to make/wear again and again! This pattern is for everyone and looks great on all gender expressions!

  • Understanding garment sewing basics such as proper fabric prep, pinning, cutting, ironing and troubleshooting

Materials

The jacket pattern and materials are not included in registration fee. We have a variety of fabrics, as well as all necessary notions, available for purchase with a 10% student discount. Feel free to drop by anytime before your class, or purchase supplies the day of the workshop!

You will need:

  • Ilford Jacket pattern by Friday Pattern Company
  • 1.5 - 5 yards fabric depending on size and length. Heavy fabrics like Denim, Twill, and Canvas will make a structured jacket. Softer fabrics like Linen, Corduroy , and light wool will make a more shacket-style garment. And Flannel and Chambray will make a lighter, over-shirt kind of Ilford.
  • 5-12 Buttons (any size is fine, but we recommend 1-1.5” buttons). Please note we have many more buttons available for in store purchase only.
  • A spool of matching all-purpose sewing thread.

Refund Policy

We do not issue refunds on workshop registrations.

  • If you register for a workshop and later become unable to attend, we will gladly offer a credit if you notify us at least 5 business days before the workshop.
  • Workshop credits are not redeemable for cash and cannot be applied to merchandise purchases
  • We are unable to offer credits of any kind, or honor reschedule requests, with less than 5 business days advance notice.
  • Credits cannot be given for any registrations for workshops hosted by visiting/ out of town instructors. Due to the nature of these one-time-only workshops, all events hosted by special guests are subject to this policy. Thank you for understanding!
  • In the event a class is cancelled or rescheduled due to inclement weather, or other Act of God, you will receive a credit to take another class at a later date (in-person or virtual).

Our workshops require a great deal of pre-planning, including ordering supplies and tools, booking staff, and making commitments to pay our instructors -- all based on the number of students who register. When students ask to cancel or reschedule at the last minute, we lose money. As a small business, we are unable to absorb these costs and still keep our class prices low.  

In fairness to all of our customers, we are unable to make exceptions to our policy, including for reasons of illness or travel. If you are unable to attend a workshop at the last minute, we suggest giving your spot to a friend!

Refund Processing Fees:

  • The following only applies in the event a provider’s cancellation/refund policy allows for cancellations and a full refund, please see above or contact CourseHorse to determine eligibility.
  • In the event a class is still going to occur and a full refund is requested, and you are eligible for a full refund in accordance with the provider’s policy, a 5% processing fee will be deducted from your refund amount.
