What you'll do
It’s NOT a Chanel! — "Chanel" Jacket Making ClassBring your own personal sensibility to this timeless classic. Over SIX WEEKS, you’ll design & sew your own French-style cardigan jacket, starting with a custom-fitted muslin and working all the way through quilting, hand finishing, trim & hand-set sleeves. Along the way, learn the couture techniques that give this iconic jacket its distinctive structure, comfort & polish. Make it yours!The Chanel jacket is a design with a recognizable vocabulary — but within those parameters, the possibilities are endless. We’ll explore the history of the jacket, its essential elements & the many ways it has been interpreted over the years by Coco Chanel & the designers who followed her. As you make your own, you’ll learn not just how to construct the jacket, but how to play with its proportions, fabrics, quilting, trims, buttons & details while retaining the qualities that make it a Chanel-style jacket.Taught by Natalia Sacasa, a lifelong sewer and artist, Sacasa brings a background in contemporary art, design & hands-on making to the course. Her approach combines a keen eye for composition with a deep appreciation for the craft, history & possibilities of clothing construction.
What you'll get
Your own custom-fit "Chanel" jacket!

What to bring
VERS will provide students with all the tools and machines necessary to work on their jackets for in-class time only—plus certain "incidental" materials such as thread, interfacing, pattern paper, and muslin.Students don't need to bring anything to the first class. However, by the second and third class, students are expected to start bringing the "creative" materials for the jackets they're making—such as the exterior fabric, the lining, trims, and buttons. We are happy to point students to the many places these materials can be purchased in NYC and online, as well as offer them guidance in making those purchases so that they can feel confident in their selections and be successful in their project.If a student doesn't have time or the ability to shop for these items outside of class, they are welcome to buy them from us for a flat fee of $100. Please note, though, we are not a fabric store, so our selection is limited to what our instructors have brought in from their own workrooms as well as what we've been able to acquire through Materials for the Arts.Students should also have the following items at home to complete their work in between classes:- Sewing machine
- Iron & ironing surface
- Fabric shears & thread snips
- Seam ripper
- Pins and/or sewing clips
- Hand-sewing needles & thimble
- Tape measure
- Clear ruler
- Tailor’s chalk or fabric marking tool
- Jacket fabric
- Buttons, trim & other finishing materials
