Perks /perks/ [noun] Benefits that one is entitled to because of ones job. ‘Perks’ is an old tailors way of describing ‘leftovers’ as described in The Modern Tailor, Clothier and Outfitter Vol. 3 4th Edition. (Pg. 300) Most likely referring to leftover cloth after cutting a customers commission.
For a while now I have been working on sewing guides for people who want to learn bespoke tailoring. It can be more difficult to learn about due to fewer learning resources and materials being difficult to find, not to mention difficulty in finding someone who can teach you. I am making a syllabus that teaches sewing, rather than individual follow along guides that teach you to sew a single garment.
Here I house my written guides and other digital resources as well as give you the chance to look at, learn about and buy the materials and equipment you need to in order to practice and make. It remains a work in progress and will be expanded over time to contain all of the basics and at least most of what you could need.
