Great course!

Lisa Dunaway

I have a hard time understanding most online tutorials, but never have a problem with any of Corn's. I'd love a bonus video someday for this tutorial where he shows us an unlined skirt with French seams. But this course is great for a classier skirt!

The course is very well structured and very clear. I have always liked Cornelius' content as he explains the 'why' of things, rather than just 'how to' processes. There were a couple of things I decided to do differently while making the skirt, just because I preferred different finishes in places (i.e. making separate pocket bags and understitching rather than top stitching and keeping the lining free of the hem to avoid the risk of any pulling), however, that's all personal preference and I could see why the processes demonstrated in the course were the simplest / most efficient methods. I would recommend any of Cornelius' courses to anyone but also would remind people that you can still choose how to apply things and do things differently if you wish.

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.
