 FOREWORD

Menswear is more interesting than dresses and skirts as a sewing

project. When I started teaching men’s’ wear I thought its easier
than creating ladies wear but I found out that men’s wear are often
more confined to convention than if they were to sew up a women’s
garment, but this can lead to a highly satisfying project that tests
your sewing precision, your knowledge of fabric properties, and
your creativity when faced with creating an original garment while
meeting established criteria. Finally, the module contains different
task sheets and job sheet for men’s garments so enjoy!
