Tailor’s ham

People aren’t flat in real life – and neither are the garments we make! The Tailor’s ham will help you press all those parts of a garment that are intended to curve around all the lumps and bumps that make a human being. Shoulders, chests, hips and more – wherever there’s a curve in your garment, lay it over your Tailor’s ham to press seams and shapes that will fit you properly.

Particularly with wools, pressing with steam and a proper shape will turn your dressmaking and tailoring into a form of fabric sculpture – just as it should be.
