Absolutely love this sewing academy! I signed up for a 1-year subscription two years ago and loved it so much that I just upgraded to lifetime access. The lessons are super clear, the techniques and patterns actually work (no frustration with trial and error!), and I’ve seen real improvement in my sewing from day one. What really makes it special is the community—so helpful and supportive. It’s honestly been the biggest boost to my skills. If you're into dressmaking or want to get better at sewing, this course is 100% worth it!

I was delighted with my first class at Dressmaking Academy. I very much appreciated Tatiana's expertise, and found the corset direction and explanation easy to follow. I feel I am on my way to proficiency and professionalism! My one challenge was compiling the right materials. I economized, as it was my first lesson. I feel the corset would have come out better had I used exact materials. Lesson learned.

I was so thrilled to find your wonderful UTube videos on Luneville/Tambour work. The course of videos takes a beginner through everything you need to get started and learn how to use the hook and master the stitch, attach pearls etc. Once you get the sequence and rythym going it is so satisfying and gives learners the confidence to learn more. You have a wonderful array of videos and classes to encourage those interested in developing Higher levels of expertise in couture eewinv and haute couture embroidery.
