Why are tailors known for lies!?? 

Am a tailor so please don't blame me if am little bit partial but here are few reasons I think make them to.
1. No tailor wants to lose customers so at a times he has to accept all the cloth even if he's not chanced so as to gain the money.

2. Tailor are humans they get tired, lazy and weak at times too.

3. Tailors will wish to you the best but if any cloth gives tailors a little delay the leave it for another.

If your tailor lies don't blame him or her!
Its normal but we'll definitely change!

Become a good Tailor 2

ce. One of
the best things you can do to
prepare yourself for work as a
professional tailor is to take an
apprenticeship under a tailor who is
already established in the business. An
apprenticeship will train you in the
skills you need to enter the business,
and the experience will look good on
your resume or CV.
You might be able to find an
apprenticeship program working
with an alteration tailor, custom
tailor, or shop tailor. An official
alteration tailor apprenticeship will
consist of roughly 4000 hours of
work, while apprentices to custom
tailors and shop tailors will
complete roughly 8000 hours.
The tailor you apprentice under
will start you with simple tasks
related to sewing, mending, and
altering garments. As you
demonstrate skill and
understanding, you will be given
more complex tasks.
Opt for informal training, if
necessary. Since actual
apprenticeships can be difficult to
come by, you can also obtain a little
training simply by working with a tailor
or in an alterations department doing
tasks that are not directly related to
the work of the tailor.
If you cannot land an official
apprenticeship, try to get hired
part-time in an alterations
department at a clothing store
or other similar workplace. Even
if you do nothing but answer
phones, tidy up, and schedule
appointments, you will at least
gain knowledge about the
atmosphere you can expect to
work in as well as any essential
terminology or concepts.
Practice retail work. A tailor will
need to work with the public, so
practicing your salesmanship and
customer service will be beneficial to
you in the long-run. Moreover, having
retail work experience could actually
look good on your resume or CV if
you decide to apply for a job with a
professional tailor or alterations
department.
You need to develop
communication and interpersonal
skills so that customers will feel
comfortable with you as you take
measurements and discuss the
best ways to improve their
garments.
While all retail work will give you
some experience working with the
public, some jobs are better than
others. Part-time jobs in
department stores, clothing
stores, shoe stores, stores
specializing in accessories are
preferable to fast food or sit-
down restaurant work. Store jobs,
especially those just mentioned,
will get you accustomed to the
fashion retail setting instead of
any generic retail setting. On
the other hand, jobs at pet
stores, convenient stores, and
grocery stores have nothing to
do with the industry and
therefore are not as ideal.
Refine your skills on your own.
Official, professional training
helps, but if you want to become an
excellent tailor, you will need to
practice on your own time, as well. If
you plan on being self-employed, self-
training might even be enough to get
you started.
You can browse around at a
book store for manuals that can
teach you new sewing techniques
or more information about fabric
types, fashion design, and other
topics related to the field.
You can also look for video
demonstrations online to learn
about different sewing techniques
if you need more precise, step-by-
step examples to follow.
Train with the tools of the
trade. No matter how you choose
to get your training and work
experience in before you start your
career as a tailor, you should make
sure that you have plenty experience
with the actual tools used in that
line of work. [2]
You must be proficient in using a
standard cloth measuring tape as
well as other measuring
instruments. Measuring tape is
usually used for body
measurements, but a short ruler
is usually used for buttonhole
spacing and hem lengths. French
curve rulers help tailors work with
angled seam lines.
You also need to work with
professional level sewing machines
and sergers. Learning when use
different settings on these
machines, different needle types,
and different thread types should
also be done.
Use a range of cutting tools,
including sewing scissors, trimming
shears, and rotary cutters. Know
when to use each one and for
what purpose.

Becoming a Tailor. Few steps I found

How to Become a Tailor

Being a tailor can be a fulfilling career
path that involves both attention to
detail and artistic expression. Although
people typically associate tailors with
alteration shops, tailors work a variety of
positions, including as costume designers
and personal stylists.
Part One of Three:
Education
Earn a high school diploma. There
are no official educational
requirements for becoming a tailor. As
a general rule, though, you should at
least have a high school diploma or
GED, especially if you intend to work
as a tailor for a larger fashion
company.
Check with your high school to
see if there are any classes that
might prove relevant to the
field. At the very least, you
should try to take a home
economics course. Some high
schools may even have more in-
depth sewing courses that can
teach you about fashion design,
hand sewing, and industrial power
sewing. [1]
Take art electives to help you
develop a better aesthetic taste
so that you will be more prepared
to work with color and style.
Make sure that your classes also
help you maintain basic math skills
so that you will have no problem
working with measurements.
A business class or two can also
help if you plan on becoming a
self-employed tailor.
Work-study courses can be
beneficial, too, since the
instructor might be able to help
you land work with someone in
the fashion industry.
Take college level courses. Even
though you do not need to have
a college degree, you can benefit
from taking college classes about
fashion and design.
In addition to being beneficial for
your own improvement, having
college coursework or a college
degree might make your employer
more likely to consider you for
higher level jobs. You may even
work your way up the chain and
be placed in charge of other
tailors as a supervisor.
Check with local community
colleges and technical schools
since they are more likely to
have sewing, design, and fashion
courses than four-year liberal arts
colleges. The classes at a
community college or technical
school will also be cheaper.
Look for schools that offer a
variety of courses at the
beginner, intermediate, and
advanced levels.
Study matters related to
clothing construction, patterns,
textiles or fabrics, finishes,
detailing, and fit.
Ideally, your classes should provide
you with textbook information
and plenty of practice sewing
exercises.
Consider taking business classes.
Many tailors end up being self-
employed. While it is not strictly
necessary, you might find it beneficial
to take a few business and business
finance courses at the college level
to prepare you for the responsibilities
and duties involved in running your
own business.
Look for business classes at
community colleges in your area.
Pay close attention to general
business classes, business finance
classes, entrepreneurship classes,
marketing classes, and any other
class dealing with small business
topics.
