What our students say

I am a beginner sewer and the concepts taught in this class really help you understand how clothing is made and how you to apply those concepts to your own body. My friends and family have been really impressed with what I've made in a small amount of time. Additionally, you get direct access to the owner/teacher who responds so quickly to questions. Would absolutely recommend!

Megan

FINALLY AN EASY TO FOLLOW PATTERN MAKING COURSE! Elizaveta, I could not be more pleased THANK YOU for finally making an easy to understand pattern making course. WOW you have simplified this to the point I feel I can unload 30 years of not understanding pattern making in just the first 4 segments. I am so excited to make clothes again.

Charlene

Not only did I make my own garment from scratch, but more importantly, this course gave me hope that I could create my own clothes. The structure of those lessons is perfect, it's all divided into short videos, and whenever I need to go through some of the lessons, I watch the video that I need. It's so easy to navigate. One of the best investments I've made. I would highly recommend it.
