Amazing courses that demystify pattern drafting and clothes sewing. I was hugely frustrated with commercial patterns that never fit me properly without a lot of adjusting, so learning how to start from scratch in such a logical, common sense way is wonderful. And much, much quicker!!
Your approach to sewing and pattern making takes away so much of my anxiety that I have been feeling for years! My mom was a seamstress and took some pattern making classes, always felt insecure about her wonderful talent. Apparently, I inherited that insecurity! But your calm approach and positive attitude have inspired me to go for it. So from the bottom of my heart, I sincerely thank you!
I love Arkdefo, their fabrics and the courses! The courses make it extremely easy to understand the logic behind pattern making and sewing! Highly recommend checking them out!
