Pre-ordering the next seasons dresses before they are released will save you 50% of the course cost. It also allows you time to collect your fabric and materials so you are ready to get sewing when it becomes available. 

Absolutely not. Our patterns can be tackled by a beginner to an intermediate. We have graded them by difficulty (look for the moon phases), based on number of pieces and techniques covered but we are always available to provide support should you get stuck. 

No. We do not require you to have on hand a half-scale dress form or mannequin. 

We recommend having access to a domestic machine, iron and ironing board, sharp shears or a rotary cutter, pins, pattern weights, seam gauge and a tailors ham for pressing. 

Once you order you have to set up an account on our learning platform. An email will be sent with instructions on where to logon and start your sewing journey. You will see your pattern and course material once you login!

No. They are true standard size measurements but scaled to be half-sized. They won't fit any doll on the market that we know of.

It's simple. The purpose of these patterns is for practicing your sewing technique. Half-scale will take you less time and less material while still experiencing the dressmaking steps of a full-sized dress.

At this time we do not offer patterns in any other size or full-sized dresses. We however are open to discuss commercial rights or custom commissions. Contact us for details.

It will vary on the dress and the quality of fabric you choose. It is considerably less than what a full-size dress would. Typically $40-$60. Sometimes we opt for scrap material or cotton muslin to save on costs. That’s the beauty of half-scale!

That's completely up to you! Keep it for display or reference, so when you ask yourself how did I do that fell-stitch on the lining? You'll be able to have a visual reference. You'll also have forever access to the video lesson as well. We are also planning regular contests for submitting creative photos of your final product.
