The Sew Pro

The goal at The Sew Pro is to train high-quality dressmakers. Our courses are in-depth training, not just "how-to" tutorials. Each course leads you step-by-step, through hours of comprehensive classes until you're proficient and confident to complete the highest level sewing projects. Every course comes with a set of sewing materials, worth between $200 and $400, as well as a workbook or illustrated reference book, which is yours forever. The project assignments are personally critiqued, and together with email support, students have the knowledge, guidance, and materials to become professional dressmakers.

Some of my students have been sewing for over 30 years but needed better and more efficient ways of sewing. If you consider yourself an advanced sewist, then Advanced Construction or Patternmaking will be perfect for you, depending on which skill you want to learn.

Of course! Many Sew Like a Pro students don't even know what a sewing machine looks like. We start right from the beginning. See the full course details here.

If you own a working sewing machine, there's no need to purchase a new one for these courses. You'll learn how to use any type of machine! If you don't have a machine yet, then email Tzirel Leah at contact@thesewpro.com for the most up-to-date recommended model numbers and where to buy them.

We believe in professionalism, not perfectionism. Sewing can't be sloppy, but perfect isn't the goal -- in fact, aiming for perfection can actually get the way! As you start sewing, you'll notice that your favorite store-bought clothes really weren't sewn P.E.R.F.E.C.T.L.Y. And they still look beautiful!

We specialize in modest wear, and you can adapt them to match your own style.

After teaching 2500 students, Tzirel Leah has learned to anticipate nearly every question and answer them in the classes themselves. If you do have questions during the class, all you need to do is rewind the video to find the answer. If other questions come up, you can email Tzirel Leah with a picture and she will get back to you.

Sure, if you have questions you can contact Tzirel Leah for a short meeting. Email contact@thesewpro.com

Both courses are great options for beginner sewists and neither require any prior experience. Sew Like a Pro includes the content from Alterations Basics and way more. It teaches you to sew garments from scratch, and includes even more advanced techniques. Alterations Basics only teaches the very basics, so you don't have to run to the seamstress all the time!

Tzirel Leah taught (and still teaches) in person for the past 10 years. So when she decided to make her classes available online, she was skeptical too. To her surprise and delight, she found the online teaching was even clearer and more comprehensive. The angle of the camera is far closer to the machine than any in-person class can be, and the ability to rewind and replay means you get your questions answered on the spot. Based on the speed at which they learn and the quality of their sewing, she is confident that her online classes are nurturing professional, efficient sewists.

In order to make gowns, you need both Advanced Construction and Patternmaking. We offer them in a bundle here. Advanced Construction gives you the techniques to sew a gown, and the Patternmaking course teaches you how to make the actual pattern, creating the fit, style and design that you want. Patternmaking is the "architect", and Advanced Construction is the "builder".

Not at all. All materials can be shipped internationally, at a small extra fee. We're proud to have students all over the world who've enjoyed our online course. From US, Canada, England/the UK, Israel, Austria, Switzerland, Australia and South Africa.
