“I’m already working 10+ hours a day.” I know, I’ve been there too. This Program is all online and accessible from any device — at YOUR pace. Watch the trainings and fill out the Worksheets on YOUR schedule – between meetings, when the kids are in bed, on the train, in the car, whatever you like. Plus, you get access to the material for three full years so there’s no rush. And here’s the truth… If you’re starting a new business, you’ll need to shift your priorities. Watching every episode of Ozark won’t get you what you want. Spending your time learning from someone who’s done what you want to do – successfully – will save you countless hours, tons of frustration, and lots of money.

I understand that. And creating a profitable business takes time and it takes money. You may need to save up. You probably should consider doing pre-sales to help cash flow when you launch (or re-launch) products. And here's the thing...I’ve had about a thousand years of experience in this business (!!) and it will cost you dearly if you give your cutter a cutting ticket that’s not done right. I’ll teach you how to avoid this mistake – and I assure you I have done this – and one bad cut ticket cost me an entire order worth $2780. Or how about if you source the wrong fabrics – any guess what that’ll cost you? You get the idea here. Risk is involved.

The key is this. Start. Just start. Get moving in the direction you want to go, get a deeper understanding of what it will take to create the right business for you,  and THEN the path will unfold. 

Of course you’re not! We’re talking about starting & growing a business and it’s exciting, daunting, fun, and downright terrifying – all at the same time. When is anyone REALLY POSITIVE about anything? You just have to try it and see. I know that this program works. In fact, I’m positive. Read what former students have said about it! Also, if you do the work, fill out the worksheets, and send us what you did after you try the course for 30 days – and you still feel it’s not a fit for you, no worries. Just send us your work via email and I’ll give you a refund. That’s my 100% guarantee, so there’s NO risk for you.

About 65% of our students have little or no experience or background in the fashion industry. They’re people who have a great idea for a sewn product and want to make a business out of it. In fact, we LOVE working with people who have been successful in another field and now want to run a product-based business.

This course teaches you the BUSINESS side of things. It’s for anyone who wants to start and run a profitable company and wants to understand the steps involved. It doesn’t matter if the business owner is the actual “designer” or has their ideas interpreted by other industry professionals (there are a lot of advantages to that, actually). What I mean is, you don’t need to consider yourself a “designer” to benefit from this course. Not at all.

Doesn’t matter. I’m not that “fashion-y” either and I teach the course! If you’re making a product that is SEWN, this course will help you. Students have taken this course successfully in many niches, including home products, baby products, backpacks, convertible clothing for people getting chemo, uniforms, a belt accessory, boot accessories, bathing suits for seniors with arthritis, and all kinds of cool things!

Note: This program is NOT a good fit for jewelry designers. 

Let’s see, you could learn the right way to contact a pattern maker and what to bring when you go, you could find out how to cost and price your product, how to find wholesale fabrics in small quantities, how to start building an audience NOW before your product is even ready, and what needs to be on your website. And remember, you get all this training for much less than the cost of a college course.

Most of the course applies very well. The Modules on fabrics will be helpful for understanding the process of buying wholesale fabric but not in terms of specifics, i.e. the specific vendors in the fabric guide might not help you. Also, the info about business licenses will not apply. Everything else works – defining your customer, niche, costing and pricing, selling tools needed, how to sell. We’ve had students from almost EVERYWHERE in the world, including Australia, Canada, France, Mozambique, Kuwait, Switzerland, United Arab Emirates, the U.K., etc., and they are very happy.

In this case, we mean Lifetime of the Course. For as long as we run this course, you get full access. This includes any future updates to the curriculum at no extra charge to you. We plan to offer this course for a LONG time. 

To give you an idea, the first version of this course started in 2014 and HUNDREDS of students have taken it. We update it regularly and we're not going anywhere. :)
