Where should I learn to be a tailor?

Tailoring is a technical job, which requires experience accumulation and the introduction of the master. There are many ways to learn, such as going to a tailor's shop or going to a professional factory for training. Talk about the methods of learning and making from several aspects:

First, the basic knowledge

Basic knowledge includes tailoring tools, fabrics and techniques. General methods include reading books or watching videos.

If you read books, it is possible that most of these handmade books published in Chinese mainland are for professional colleges and not suitable for beginners. So I recommend looking for some books published in Taiwan Province Province. Searching related e-books on Taobao is the most economical. If you like physical books, you can look for them in bookstores such as United Bookstore.

Watch the video, and all major video websites can watch it. It is difficult to find a tutorial, mainly to watch the skills and movements of craftsmen in the video.

II. Tools and materials

You can do it when you have accumulated some basic knowledge. Tools are generally easy to buy, but before buying, it is best to know what each tool is for and whether it is needed. Then the cloth. Generally speaking, the cloth wholesale market does not sell a small amount of cloth. You can ask the local students majoring in fashion design where they can buy cloth. Or buy DIY cloth or material package in Taobao.

Third, partners and mentors

It would be great if we could find people with similar interests to study with. Pay more attention to local tailor shops and activities in the same city, and you may learn a lot of people to guide you.

Finally, I think maintaining a strong interest is the best way to promote learning. Be patient, treat each of your works like your own, get better and better in practice again and again, and enjoy the fun of handmade ~
