My name is Benjamin Saccaggi, and I am the owner of The Green Tailor and the instructor for these classes. I began sewing at a young age, and in 2014 made tailoring my career. In 2023 I travelled to Germany for an advanced course in bespoke suits at the Akademie der Kleidermacher.
Personalised Tailoring Classes.
R250 per hour, flexible times
Mondays to Saturdays.
Students select a garment or project to focus on, and are guided through any and all aspects from design, patterning, fitting and finishing, depending on your objectives.
Distance classes can be arranged via video call.
My expertise is in men’s formal wear, specifically suit jackets with a hand-made floating canvas. However I have a lot of experience in all types of women’s wear, home deco and alterations. If you’d like to see my work you can head over to my Gallery or my Instagram Page.
