“I couldn’t believe the level of skill we were able to achieve in such a short time.”

I took Adeena’s sewing course and not only did I learn a ton, I had a great time too! Adeena explains things so clearly that even complicated projects become clear and fun. I couldn’t believe the level of skill we were able to achieve in such a short time; I was able to sew something real within the first few weeks!

At this point I often prefer to sew myself or my children an outfit, rather than braving hours trying things on in the stores with all the inevitable meltdowns and frustration. My kids love the fact that they can come choose material, and together we can come up with a style that looks great and fits perfectly.

Even financially it was a great choice: Within the first two months, I easily made back the money I spent on the course through the savings on clothing and even alterations.

I can’t recommend this course enough!

This course is for you if you:

  • …would love clothes that reflect your style instead of settling for what’s on the racks.

    A dusty-rose knit cardigan with jewelled buttons and a matching skirt, hung on an ornate antique mirror.
  • …have a sewing machine tucked away somewhere, waiting for “the right time.”

    A boxed sewing machine sitting unopened on a crowded hall-closet shelf, between a bike helmet and a stack of storage boxes.
  • …are finally ready to make time for something creative, relaxing and rewarding.

    A woman sewing deep purple fabric at a small desk by a sunny window, with a mug and folded fabric beside the machine.
  • …have always been curious about sewing — but life kept getting in the way.

    A sewing machine almost buried under dozens of handwritten sticky notes of errands and reminders.
  • …would love to create clothes for the people you love — with your own hands, and a whole lot of heart.

My Sewing Space — Why Learn To Sew

If sewing was always a skill you admired, why not learn to do it yourself?

Start sewing today

“Thanks! I actually sewed that.”

Imagine…

  • Sewing your daughter or granddaughter a personalized gift – like a hair bow, apron or make-up bag.

  • Sewing yourself that comfortable, flattering skirt you reach for every time it’s clean.

  • Fixing up a garment yourself instead of automatically taking it to a seamstress.

It’s not a far-off dream. You can be doing all those things in 14 weeks from now.

Learning to sew is simpler than you think

Sewing isn’t complicated
it just needs to be broken down clearly.
It doesn’t take years to get that “store-bought” look
it takes weeks.
You don’t need to be “good with your hands.”
If you can follow a recipe, you can learn how to sew.

The course was amazing! I came in with no prior sewing experience, yet after such a short amount of time taking the course I already feel confident trying things out on my own! The course was so clear, easy to understand and follow along, and Adeena really worked with us to make sure every project turned out a masterpiece! It feels so liberating to be able to sew my own things and do my own alterations. Highly highly recommend!!

Hi! I’m Adeena.

Over the years, I’ve taught more than 150 women to sew… and every single one of them knows how to sew beautifully.

Not because they were naturally talented, or because they’d been sewing since childhood… but because when sewing is broken down into simple, manageable steps, anyone can learn!

I keep hearing the same feedback: that there is nothing like that feeling of holding a beautiful skirt or dress in your hands, knowing you made it.

I created Sew It Yourself so that more women could experience it for themselves — not just the women I get to teach in person!

Whether you’ve always wanted to make your own clothes, sew beautiful outfits for your children or grandchildren, alter your clothes yourself, or just learn a skill you’ve admired for years, this course will take you there.

And if you’re finally at a stage of life where you have a little more time for yourself, I cannot think of a more rewarding way to spend that time! You’re not just learning a hobby. You’re learning a skill you’ll actually use.

I can’t wait to see what you create. You’ve got this!

Adeena

“But am I too old to start?” and other questions

  • “I learned to sew years ago… and I was really bad at it.”

    Ugh, that’s no fun. But trust me — it wasn’t you! It all comes down to how it’s taught. Basic sewing skills are something anyone can learn. If you’re willing to give it another try, I think you’ll surprise yourself with what you’re capable of.

  • “What if I fall behind?”

    Once you purchase the course, it’s yours forever. You can watch and rewatch the lessons whenever you like, and I’ll be here to give feedback on your homework for a full year.

    That said, we’ll be learning together as a group, which adds accountability, encouragement, and fun. So while there’s no pressure, I do recommend staying within a week or so of the schedule if you can!

  • “Do I need to own a sewing machine before I start? What about the other supplies?”

    Yes — you’ll need your own sewing machine. Not sure which one to buy? I’ve put together a quick quiz to help you find the right machine for your needs and budget.

    Find my machine

    When you enroll, you’ll get a clear supply list with links, so you’ll know exactly what to buy. (Fabrics and supplies aren’t included; you’ll pick those up separately.)

  • “I’m scared I’ll ruin my fabric and have to throw the whole thing away.”

    Mistakes mostly happen when you’re learning — and we won’t be practicing on expensive or hard-to-replace fabrics. By the time you’re working on fabrics and projects you really care about, you’ll understand the process well enough to sew with confidence.

  • “How much time will I need each week?”

    If you follow the course at the suggested pace of one lesson each week, plan on spending 2–3 hours a week sewing and practicing. Of course, you’re welcome to go faster or slower if you want. That’s the beauty of a self-paced course; fit it into your life whenever it works for you.

  • “I’m not sure I want to spend the money. Can’t I just learn from YouTube?”

    Sure, YouTube is great for bits and pieces. But it teaches you to follow along, not to sew. Here, you’ll learn to think like a seamstress and understand the why behind every step. Plus, you’ll get feedback on your work and have someone to ask your questions. It’s a skill you’ll keep for life (and it pays for itself!).

  • “What if everything I make looks homemade?”

    It won’t! If you follow the instructions, you’ll have the skills you need to create clothes that look polished and professional!

  • “I’m too old. Everyone who sews says, ‘I started when I was ten…’”

    You don’t have to start sewing as a child. Your first stitch can happen at any age! I’ve had students begin in their 50s and 60s, and they have done BEAUTIFULLY. In fact, in many ways, they have an advantage. You’ve spent decades learning new things, solving problems, and developing patience. Those life skills make you an excellent learner.
