“I have tried everything (teaching myself with textbooks and YouTube, and other courses) and nothing comes close to this one. It has the most efficient and most accurate methods I’ve seen. Every question of mine got answered in the course. Tzirel Leah is very thorough, and the word I would use to describe the course (aside from awesome) is comprehensive.”

Baila Jacobowitz

“After every lesson that was completed, I would show what I sewed to my whole family and hear their compliments. I even brought the mini dress to school to show my friends! Basically, I couldn’t stop! Everything was explained in depth, and I feel like I really understand it. All the different methods and all the pros and cons of each were shown, along with which was the most preferable and why. I can’t believe how well I know everything and how confident I am with my skills. I already started offering my services to other people.”

Rochel Zeffren

Say "YES" to Rebecca and her tricky alterations requests.

Frequently Asked Questions
Advanced Construction is an advanced class! You need to know the beginning first! Learning to use a machine, following a basic pattern, common alterations, and much more are covered in Sew Like A Pro. Start with that and you'll be up to Advanced Construction in no time!

Advanced Construction teaches ALL advanced sewing techniques for creating garments. Patternmaking is how to create the necessary patterns for your desired designs and fit. Patternmaking does not teach sewing skills.

Tzirel Leah taught 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.
If, due to extenuating circumstances, you do need more time, reach out to me and you can extend the enrollment for $25/month.
Advanced Construction comes after Sew Like A Pro. The skills learned in Sew Like A Pro are not reviewed. If you already have those skills, you do not need to take Sew Like A Pro first.
Each login is for one person only.

Your alterations will NEVER-AGAIN look like a 5th-grade arts and crafts project.
