Learn to sew like a professional
At Tailor Academy, we love to work productively on your new favorite pieces from the very beginning. The classes contain useful expert tips exactly when and where you need them so you can practice right away. And after each unit, you’ll hold a finished item in your hands. With a little bit of practice, you will create amazing gifts or even begin earning a little extra income right from the very first lesson.
In the first unit, you’ll learn how to sew a simple, chic summer dress. Tailor along to the master tailor’s instructions and get tips on quality and productivity from a real premium company.
Frequently Asked Questions about the Masterclass
Yes, after passing the exam, you receive a diploma that can be highly beneficial for job applications and serves as a quality assurance to clients in the studio, providing them with confidence.
The exam is optional and includes both a practical and a theoretical part.
Sewing Machine: A basic household sewing machine suffices to start. As you advance through the course and your sewing skills become more professional, you might realize your specific needs in a sewing machine and can upgrade to a higher-quality device that suits your preferences. We recommend visiting a specialty store for this.
Equipment: At the beginning of the Masterclass, you’ll receive all the tips for a great basic kit (scissors, needles, chalk, etc.), much of which you may already have at home.
Fabrics: You’ll get a materials list for each model beforehand, with fabric recommendations and quantity specifications. Choose high-quality fabrics for items you’ll wear often or on special occasions. For practice purposes, you can opt for more affordable fabrics.
A new unit is unlocked every two weeks, but you can complete them entirely at your own pace. All videos and patterns remain accessible even after you finish the course, so you can revisit them anytime.
Many participants have decades of experience sewing as a hobby or working as industrial seamstresses, and some even have their master certification and want to see how other tailor shops operate.
However, we also have successfully started thousands of complete beginners. You receive all the necessary information and tips at the beginning to start well (and affordably) and achieve great results from the first unit. Practice makes perfect.
This is a valid question, especially if you’ve been disappointed by online courses before. It’s not just about what 280 years of expertise and 9 generations of refined tailoring methods are worth.
It’s more about the value of consistently producing garments that succeed on the first try—made with a quality that astonishes our participants. Our participants value the many hours, materials, and frustration they save for the rest of their lives, as projects become easier and more successful.
