FAQ about Sew Like a Pro™

I want to make sure you hear the answers you need, straight from me.

WHY DID I CREATE
AN ONLINE SEWING SCHOOL
FOR DANCESPORT & COUNTRY DANCERS,
ICE & ROLLER SKATERS?

• Dancesport, Country and Skate costumes have been my specialty since I began my company, Seams Sensational in 1993.
• I have professional ballroom competition experience and I used to take ice dance lessons for fun (not competition). I know how costumes should fit so a competitor looks and feels her best.
• With the cost of lessons, shoes & boots, competitions and travel on a steady increase, more and more women are attempting to make her own costumes (or her daughter's) to save money.
• There was a huge gap in the Dancesport, Country and Skate industries for the DIY dressmakers.  They had no support or source of comprehensive training.  I wanted to fill that gap so I created the Sew Like A Pro™ courses.

The first decade of making dance and skate costumes, I struggled to get dresses to fit as well as I thought they could. I'll just say it. Struggling sucks.

I wanted a more efficient way to make custom dresses while maintaining my high standards and client satisfaction.

It wasn't easy, but with each dress I created better techniques to where I can do an incredible fit on almost any body type.

I created Sew Like A Pro™ to be exactly what I wished I'd had twenty plus years ago.

At competitions, I regularly see women wearing a homemade gown.

How do I know it's a homemade dress?

The style is often out of date, the skirt is too short or they use funky, non-stretch fabrics that a professional dressmaker would not use.

Many times, I see those same women not look or feel as confident as they could - and therefore not get the scores they are capable of - because the dress doesn't fit well, doesn't look fashionable or they are worried and self-conscious about the dress.

Also, every year I get dozens of emails and phone calls from women who made a dress that was a semi-disaster. They want to know if I offer advice on how to fix that dress they made so they can wear it.

• I don't want the do-it-yourself costumers to continue fighting with fabrics and wasting countless hours reinventing the wheel that we call dressmaking.
• I don't want women to walk or skate into the competition arena and feel inferior or self-conscious because her dress doesn't fit well or looks homemade.

• I want to be able to help thousands of Dancesport and Country dancers, Ice and Roller skaters around the world make gorgeous, well-fitting dresses so they look and perform better!

I WANT TO MAKE DRESSES FOR INCOME.

CAN I LEARN HOW TO DO THIS WITH THE SEW LIKE A PRO™ COURSES?

YES!

• Most women in the program make dresses for themselves.
• Some women in the program make dresses for daughters.
• Most women in the program also make dresses for women at the local rink or studio.
• A few women in the program don't dance or skate, but they want to make those type of costumes as their source of income.

During all aspects of the COMPLETE BASIC BALLGOWN and the ADVANCED PROGRAM FOR LATIN, SKATE & GOWNS, I teach you how to make costumes for yourself or for others.

I included a 4-part PRODUCTIVITY PLANNER that helps you track time, materials and expenses. I suggest using this for every dress, even if you sew for yourself.

WILL SEW LIKE A PRO™ WORK FOR ME?

If you do the work and follow the protocol. It will absolutely work for you!

Dressmaking is not easy. It's not for the weak of spirit or low on patience, that's for sure. But you probably know this, because you've already made a dress or two, right?
