I’m Teaching Online Sewing Classes

I have some great news! I’m teaching sewing classes online! That means you can learn how to sew with me from the comfort of your home around your own schedule. YAY!

I’m teaching beginner technique classes if you’ve never sewn before or if you’ve been sewing for years but you want to hone your skills and make the inside of your garments look store-bought and not handmade (can I get a “woot woot” for quality-made clothing?!). I’m also teaching a course about copying your clothes if you want to learn how to easily make a pattern from something you already own — that perfect dress, your favourite skirt, you know it! PLUS I’m teaching an online business course about how to grow a successful creative company.

Choose if you want to take my online sewing classes and online business class on BurdaStyle Academy or on Craft University. (The videos and content are the same, you just pick which platform you want to learn on.)

I’m live in each of the courses, so I can answer your specific questions online. Plus, the course videos and materials are yours to watch forever!

INTRODUCTION TO SEWING: LEARN THE FUNDAMENTALS OF GARMENT SEWING (BurdaStyle)

In this online sewing class, you’ll learn the basics of sewing including various stitches and seam finishes, you’ll build a solid sewing foundation, and you’ll complete two simple projects: a drawstring bag and a zippered pouch. The best part? It doesn’t matter if you’ve never touched a sewing machine before. And if you’ve been sewing for years, we’ll show you how to correct those bad habits and get better-looking finished projects!

Once you’ve established the proper foundation, you’ll then learn how to properly prepare fabric for garment sewing, how to work with (and adjust!) a pattern, and you’ll learn how to sew three skirt styles: a pencil skirt, an A-line skirt, and a gathered skirt. On top of that, you’ll have the knowledge and the confidence to be able to sew much, much more.
