Inside the courses are divided into sections for each major step. There is one video lesson per step running between 5-10 mins long. It's mobile friendly and you'll be able to go through at your own pace. Each course begins with an intro where you will find all your downloadable resources, like the PDF pattern.
October 2024 UPDATE:

If you have a purchased a course on Threadora.com please contact me and I will find a workaround for you so you can continue accessing the content.
Previously...
Simply enroll for your chosen course and set up an account right here on Threadora.com, that's it! You will see your pattern and course material immediately once you login under your "My Account" page. You access your course anytime on our lessons page or on the Spaces mobile app!
Simple. Forever.
Depending on the dress design, there are 6-8 pre-recorded video lessons included in each course. Each one is kept under or around 10 minutes in length.
No materials are provided but you do get a detailed materials list with your pattern PDF. This gives you total freedom to choose a different color or material so you can experiment! You can find out what was used in this post about fabric recommendations.
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.
Remember, you are not just ordering a sewing pattern! Instead of receiving all files, all at once (that would be overwhelming) we have adopted a more online course approach to our file delivery system. We want you to complete your dress, so having a way to stop, start and mark complete as you go is amazing. Each design will include your digital pattern, which is easy to print at home. A Step-by-step guide, and access to a video walk-through series so you can see the process first-hand. Every dress course comes with a discussion group you will be able to comment, ask questions to our designer and others making the same project. You can find the group list here to start posting and sharing about your project.
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. Check out the Loominary sewing shop page for some specialty curated sewing goods!
No certainly not. We do not require you to have on hand a half-scale dress form or mannequin. On Skillshare we have a DIY version that you can make, use the link to get a free month!
