Guide to men's tailoring, Volume I

Step by step to self-sewn men's clothing.

You quickly learn to sew - but tailoring requires passion, dedication and perseverance. Similar to learning an instrument, dexterity and an eye for the essentials must be trained.

The step-by-step instructions in this book with numerous photos and drawings lead safely to the finished garment. Detailed explanations ensure that you always have an overview and that the individual working steps are carried out in the correct order; different processing variants leave room for individuality.

Absolute beginners may need a little more patience than experienced - but with the tips and tricks provided by master tailor Sven Jungclaus and a little practice, the first successes can be achieved quickly. Those who proudly hold the self-sewn piece in their hands, easily find the courage for further tailoring projects.
