Men S Clothing
How do I learn to sew/create men’s clothing?
I took a fashion class before but don’t have the time to take another one. However, I want to learn how to make clothing, mainly for myself. Where are some sites or what do any of you recommend to get started doing this?
Other than swapping right for left on shirts and jacket closures, and putting fly shields in pants, sewing for men is a lot like sewing for women.
The main problem is that men’s patterns are pretty scarce, and good men’s patterns are even scarcer. Best commercial patterns I know of are from Kwiksew (http://www.kwiksew.com), Jalie (http://www.jalie.com), and Vogue (http://www.voguepatterns.com) with a smattering more of specialty outdoor patterns or historic re-enactment patterns.
I’d suggest you might start with something like KwikSew 2777, which is a very good shirt pattern. When you learn to sew a really high quality shirt, you’re developing most of the skills you need for other types of sewing. And a well fitted shirt pattern can be transformed fairly easily into jacket and coat patterns. Try Shirts, Etc. from Islander Sewing as your sewing method — it’s expensive, so borrow it from the library if possible — it goes through basic shirt construction using efficient methods that produce high quality results:

Another good spot to pick up good tips on sewing men’s shirts:
http://off-the-cuff-style.blogspot.com/
If you want to draft your own patterns, I’d suggest Winifred Aldrich’s Metric Pattern Cutting for Menswear: http://www.amazon.com/Pattern-Cutting-Menswear-Winifred-Aldrich/dp/1405131411
If you want to do full up hand tailoring, Cabrera and Meyers’ Classic Tailoring Techniques: A Construction Guide for Mens Wear:
http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Classic-Tailoring-Techniques/Roberto-Cabrera/e/9780870054310/?itm=1
followed by Stan Hostek’s marvelous series of books (which will be totally incomprehensible until you’ve done at least a smidge of tailoring): http://uniquetechniques.com/shopbooks/shopbooks.html
(Stan will also cut patterns)
