What This Course Is About

Tambour embroidery often looks complex and intimidating.
In reality, it is a logical system of simple movements once you understand the correct order and hand coordination.

In this course, Tatiana Kozorovitsky introduces her unique teaching method, which breaks down professional Luneville embroidery into clear, manageable steps:

  • mastering the American hook,

  • learning basic hand movements,

  • understanding thread tension,

  • and transitioning confidently to the Luneville hook.

You will work on real embroidery projects, not abstract exercises — learning techniques you can immediately apply to wedding and evening dresses.

  • impress clients,

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.
