Excellent Course, Beginner-Friendly

Kyle Clayton

This is easily the best resource for learning to draft a pair of pants that I've found on the internet. The videos are succinct, but somehow all the info you need is there. No one breaks it down as well as Cornelius.

I think that watching these videos to learn has put me on a nice journey of sewing. The price for the lessons is super reasonable and affordable. I will be continuing this learning and creating.

Not afraid of drafting anymore :D

Oliwia Jarosz

Great course, makes drafting feel easy and intuitive! The explanations are clear but also not overly long. I drafted and created the first sample in one weekend! Thank you so much :)

Instructor

Cornelius Quiring

When I was 3 years old, I was in a farm accident that has left my body asymmetrical. I learned how to draft patterns and sew clothes to uniquely fit me. A way of embracing who I am. Today, I share my skills with those looking to do the same and empower themselves.
