Kenneth D. King RTW Jacket Class at Gorgeous Fabrics August 7-9, 2026 at Gorgeous Fabrics

A well-made jacket is an investment piece that will give you years of wear and joy. Join FIT Professor of Couture and Threads Magazine contributing editor Kenneth D. King from August 7-9, 2026 at Gorgeous Fabrics' headquarters in Billerica, MA.

In this hands-on 3-day class, Kenneth will teach you construction and soft tailoring techniques to achieve professional results in a classic blazer. You will use these techniques for a multitude of garments in your sewing adventures. Students in this in-person class will also receive the instruction videos for the online version, so you can refer back to them whenever you wish/need.

As a pre-requisite to the class, students can arrange a 1-hour private Zoom session with Kenneth to address any fit issues, answer questions, and prep for the class. The session is included in the class fee.

Class size is limited to 12 students. Kenneth will use the Closet Core Jasika Blazer (purchase a copy here) for samples, but you may use any jacket pattern that you have fitted via a muslin. 

Students need to bring a sewing machine to class. There are also 4 loaner machines available on a first-come first-serve basis.

This class is open to intermediate- to advanced-level sewists, women and men, age 18 and up. I'll send a class supplies list and other information once you have registered for the class. Class participants will also receive a discount on any purchases at Gorgeous Fabrics during the class.
