I just wanted to write and express my gratitude for your wonderful sewing classes. In high school, I acquired some basic sewing skills, but that was over 15 years ago. Thus, this refresher has truly boosted my confidence! I’m delighted to enhance my sewing abilities, especially since my mum was a talented seamstress. Sadly, she passed away a few years ago, and inheriting her machine left me torn between the desire to learn more sewing skills and the sorrow of not being able to learn from her. Nonetheless, I stumbled upon your course.
Your online course was a really helpful option to let me learn at my own pace and cope with the mixed emotions. 
To you, I express immense gratitude for stumbling upon our course, and I want you to understand that for many of us, it transcends beyond mere “sewing”; what you’ve crafted holds profound significance ❤ It’s bestowed upon me the confidence to embark on a practical endeavor—I’ve fashioned this coat for my beloved puppy!
Jen

So pleased I discovered Christeen’s online courses – I learned to sew in high school, but only a few basics and I was in need of a refresher, and to learn a few core skills. The online course is incredible value, especially as all the necessary tools and resources are posted out. The videos go into just the right amount of detail, and I’ve quickly been able to move from the online beginner course, into making my own clothes and bits and pieces. Highly recommend!
Jen

I highly recommend this Beginners Classes. Christeen explains concepts clearly and imparts the essential sewing skills you need to know. Furthermore, she guides you step by step, providing examples using both manual and electronic machines. It’s rare to find an online course that begins right at the beginning like this one.

About the Sewing Terminology Video Library

Learning to sew is an exciting journey, but understanding sewing patterns can often feel like a whole different challenge. If you’ve ever looked at a sewing pattern and felt lost or confused by the terminology, you’re not alone.

That’s where my Terminology Course comes in. This video library is designed to demystify the language of sewing patterns, breaking down each term with clear explanations and step-by-step demonstrations. Instead of spending hours searching for answers online, you’ll have everything you need in one place.

From understanding the different types of seams to learning how to correctly interpret pattern symbols, this course will empower you to confidently follow any sewing pattern. With visual guides that show you exactly how to perform each technique, you’ll be able to sew with precision and ease.

This limited-time offer gives you access to the Terminology Course for free when you enrol in the Beginners Online Sewing Course. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to make your sewing journey smoother and more enjoyable!

Meet Christeen Jacobs

This Beginners online sewing course is developed by and features Christeen Jacobs, an industry expert with over 40 years of experience in the bridal and evening wear field.

Christeen grew up watching her mother, who was a gifted seamstress, to sew and bead beautiful gowns. “Sewing is an art”, she would tell her, “every seam must be perfect. The inside of the garment should look as good as the outside”.

Watching the way her mother turned a simple picture into a work of art gave her so much joy.  So following in her mother’s footsteps, she went on to run her own made-to-measure Bridal and Evening wear business in Sydney for many years,  winning  Gown of the Year three years running for her handmade creations.

But her real passion lies in teaching others how to create and sew their own garments, as well as giving them the freedom to wear what they want. She loves watching their faces light up as they realise what they can achieve after their first lesson.

I made a skirt and I’m so pleased with myself,  honestly I didn’t think I could do it. Christeen’s course was so easy to follow and her vidoes and instructions are very clear. Christeen I can not thank you enough for this tuition.

Elizabeth

Without a doubt, doing the beginners course with Christeen was the best thing I have done in a long while.

The course taught me the basics of sewing, from using my machine properly, sewing terminology, basic clothing construction, reading patterns and buying fabric.

It gave me the confidence to have a go at making pyjamas, skirts, and dresses on my own and I have been really happy with the results.
