After spending 10+ years in the fashion industry, I have developed a fool-proof system that works everytime.
Learn a method that can be used on ANY shirt/dress/top neckline, wether it be a pattern that you already have or a finished garment. This method can be applied.
Most beginners shy away from pattern making, or end up going for endless runs of trial and error, this method will end that!
Learn how to plan your project the same way a Fashion Designer does, from initial sketch to finished product. No more guessing if the project will be successful in the end!
If you have just started sewing, this course is the only tool kit you need to be able to alter necklines and add collars in any way you wish for.
If choosing sizes or hacking two sizes together gives you anxiety, this method lets you use a pattern or shirt you already know fits, and simply upgrade it into a new look.
Are you a sewing girlie that are wanting to level-up your sewing skills but not really sure where to start. Has your latest trial-and-error runs ended up in the bin, and you are ready to finally learn the easy professional way of doing things?
Are you a sewing girlie that is tired of seeing a sloppy inside making of your necklines, but not really sure how to fix it?
Are you a sewing girlie that has limited sewing time and wants to see instant results and gratification when making the time to sew?
Are you a sewing girlie that is tired of spending countless of hours on Youtube, skipping through a 30 min video just to find one specific technique, and maybe not even getting it in the end? This course will present a clear course of action, that you can follow along at your own pace. You will also have carefully drafted checklists, moodboards and drawing templates to make sure you are on the right track.
To be honest, we have all been there... Searching for that one video that explained that technique perfectly 6 months ago, but seem to be impossible to locate when you need it. With my sewing course you will follow along in an easy interface, you will be able to track your progress and ask questions along the way.
Finding the information is one thing, but if you really want support and community in a tight knit community with like-minded, Youtube will leave you disappointed for most of the time. With my sewing course you will be able to join my community to instantly ask questions, see other people's projects, and get inspired!
"The entire project took a couple of evenings once I’d found a shirt. It was easy to fit in to a busy week and I found it so useful to learn how to do this skill as I’ve sewn for a while but I am a bit daunted by hacking and self drafting. This was a good first step for someone to try hacking or self drafting..."

No, you can finish the course at your own pace.
My goal with this course is to teach some really useful pattern making and sewing techniques with out needing any fancy equipment. You will need, however, a few basic supplies to get you started:
a sewing machine
2x (or more) Shirts that are nice to match, depending on what you want to make you can also use any scrap fabrics that you have
Matching sewing thread
Parchment Paper or regular printing paper
Paper and fabric scissor
Pencil/ fabric marker
Pins
Sewing needle
Tracing wheel
Long ruler
Measuring tape
Tape
Interfacing
It varies depending on skill-level and the type of project you are taking on, but the finish video module 1-3, I have estimated that it takes 4-5 hours.
Yes! If you do not want to create a collar, you can just skip step and attach a facing instead.
This course is designed so that someone with little sewing experience can follow along. However, it is helpful if you know how to thread a sewing machine, and have tried a simple straight stitch and a zig zag before you start.
