Description:

This program is perfect for anyone interested in the fashion industry, starting their own business, or making high-end clothing for themselves and their family at a fraction of the cost. Each lesson lasts three hours to ensure accurate fittings and pattern adjustments. Private lessons are available to speed up the learning process and are much more affordable than college programs. Sign up for five lessons before December 31, 2022, and the fifth lesson is free. The instructor has extensive experience in the industry and has written a series of books for her students, including the recently finished Grading to Fit.

By taking this program, you will learn how to create truly professional and beautifully fitting clothing in a sustainable way. High-end sewing is easier than home sewing, and the clothing lasts longer. Additionally, you can save hundreds or thousands of dollars over a lifetime by learning these lifelong skills. You'll be shown how to design and make anything, from custom garments to affordable replicas of high-priced clothing.

Private lessons cost $100 each, and you'll need to purchase textbooks periodically. However, all of the courses and textbooks are self-contained, meaning each contains all the information you need to make each garment from start to finish. The textbooks include step-by-step diagrams that show exactly how the work is done in a designing department.

The instructor is passionate about helping students create perfectly fitting clothing no matter their body type. This program is a real joy for her because she loves helping people learn custom fitting techniques that make them happy.

Laurel's classes are truly amazing. Initially, I was apprehensive about enrolling in her course, considering my past experiences with other fitting/sewing classes, which left me feeling unfulfilled. However, I was pleasantly surprised with the comprehensive and insightful methodology employed by Laurel in her teachings. Her approach, grounded in the industrial practices, is refreshingly unique and highly effective. As someone who is self-taught in sewing, I was particularly grateful for the opportunity to learn intricate techniques required to produce professional-grade garments. Laurel's classes offer a self-paced learning environment that is incredibly accommodating. She goes above and beyond to ensure that no student is left behind and dedicates herself to the success of every individual. I believe that Laurel is an exceptional teacher, and her passion for her craft is contagious. It is quite unfortunate that there aren't more teachers like her. All in all, I am grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from and with Laurel and would recommend her classes to anyone looking to elevate their sewing skills.

In my view, Laurel Hoffmann's classes are indispensable for those who love sewing. Laurel Hoffmann offers six courses, among them the Design Room Techniques course which I took. This course involved twelve weeks of three-hour sessions per week and covered nearly every aspect of sewing. Laurel Hoffmann's techniques were easy to understand and less time-intensive. The class covered professional garment zipper insertion, a variety of hand sewing, pleating, sewing pockets, and more. Laurel ensured that each student understood and could perform each technique precisely. Her teaching style is distinctive, well-demonstrated, and thoroughly enjoyable. I am excited to enroll in her future courses and highly recommend Laurel Hoffmann to anyone interested in pursuing sewing and pattern-making, whether for personal or professional use.

Laurel proved to be extremely supportive! I had presented her with an incredibly complex project for debugging, and my lack of expertise only added to her task! Nevertheless, she devoted an entire day to the resolution of my problems. I could not have accomplished this without her, and I am ecstatic with the outcome of the jacket!
