The Sew Pro

After teaching 2000 students I discovered that successful sewists are NOT perfectionists. Quite the opposite. Often perfectionism actually gets in the way of sewing. By the end of this course, I make sure that even the biggest perfectionists are OK with making mistakes! And one more thing. Store-bought clothing isn’t perfect anyway. Just turn clothes inside out, and discover how much money we’re spending on badly sewn clothes. 😲

I was also skeptical at the beginning. I’ve been teaching in-person for 10+ years. But after teaching many students online, I’ve seen that there are HUGE benefits to online learning. You can put the videos right in front of you as you’re sewing, and then you can PLAY, PAUSE and REWIND, again, and again, and again. (I can’t say I have THAT much time in-person 😋). You get to see the techniques as close-up and zoomed-in as possible. (It’s nearly like having your nose pressed against my sewing machine🤔). And remember, you have email access to me throughout the courses, so you can get my feedback and hand-held guidance along the way. (Even if we don’t get to hang out in real life 😌).

GREAT! There’s no better place to start than the beginning. All you need is access to a sewing machine, and I’ll show you exactly how to use it. You’ll be surprised how straightforward it is!

Some of my students had been sewing for over 40 years before taking this course, and were thrilled to discover time-saving techniques and tricks that they wish they’d known earlier. They thank me for making invisible zippers so straightforward. They understand why their machine “misbehaves,” and they can’t stop thanking me when it no longer suddenly produces three threads at once, or feels tight when trying to pull out the fabric, or sews loose stitches.

That’s where the course booklet comes in. With 28 pages of instruction, all the alterations and techniques are spelled out. And there’s a troubleshooting guide there, too.

The course material should only take 7 weeks if you watch 2 classes per week. But I give you 4 months of access to the course. One exceptionally fast student finish it in just 4 weeks! She was having so much she got carried away! And if you do need more time, it’s just $20/a month to extend your course access.

No internet? No problem. The USB option is a great alternative. Just email me, and I’ll send you the USB form. Once you’ve filled out the form, I’ll ship the USB together with the supplies box. Once your enrollment period is over, you ship the USB back to me.

Stock and model numbers keep changing. Email me at contact@thesewpro.com before you buy, and I’ll send you the updated list.

Each project takes around double the watch time. So the 25-hour course takes approximately 50 hours to complete.

When you really understand the ins and outs of clothes, alterations become a breeze. We’ll eliminate all the guesswork, so you can take all those clothes in your wardrobe that aren't quite right, and turn them into clothes that fit you perfectly! If you’re only looking for the most basic alterations, like hemming and adding, then you can check out the Alterations 101 course, but between you and me, it’s really really basic. 😉 And often these students end up joining the Sew Like a Pro course anyway.

No! Sew like a pro includes all of the Alterations 101 lessons, and much much more. In Alterations 101, you only learn to alter the edges of a garment. Whereas in Sew like A Pro, we learn to sew the inside of a garment and beyond. We cover advanced alterations and feel confident sewing garments from scratch. It’s deeper, it’s longer, it’s the full shebang.
