I am enrolled in a course through
ICSLearn.ca the dress making and design course. the price is very reasonable, i will learn to sew womens wear and when 90% of the like 1100$ course is paid for(60$ a month, 50$ down payment i did) i get a good sewing machine.
You can do it online, or, as you do exams(by phone or online) you get new materials, and it doesnt matter if you paid for the next month or not. so usually you always have materials, and can work ahead. Even if you dont have hardcopies, PDFs are available when you login.
If you want to make corsets, check out
corsetmaking.com I ordered the book the basics of corset building, and it is good, but i am not sure if it will take me all the way once i am a competent sewer and acquire the tools.
Im sure i will be able to use the book i ordered from
marywalesloomis.com to make shoes for myself, other women, and the community. Check out her site! ill tell you guys when i get the book and how it is.
I also ordered, for when i get advanced(precision) sewing skills, a book that cost 100$ (well shipping is in that price, there is a cheapper cd)
Guess what the book is about from their site
http://www.bramakersmanual.com/Thats the basis of my sewing career. Any others out there?
