Hear From Our Students
After completing the Easy Pattern Making course, I was impressed by the exceptional clarity of the modules and the ease of following the lessons. Unlike past endeavors in learning pattern making, which often left me overwhelmed with intricate measurements and calculations, this course offered a refreshing approach.
The Pattern Making ruler proved to be remarkably accurate, resolving all previous challenges I faced. The efficiency with which I could draft my Blocks came as a pleasant surprise.
“I cannot recommend Christeen’s Pattern Drafting Course highly enough! I’ve learned so much and enjoyed every moment of it. The course not only taught me how to draft patterns from scratch but also gave me a deeper understanding of how commercial patterns work and how to confidently alter them.
A perfect example is when my daughter needed something special to wear as a Godmother. The store-bought pattern she chose didn’t fit at all, but with what I learned from Christeen, I was able to make the adjustments and create a beautiful, well-fitting garment. She looked fabulous, and I felt so proud of what I achieved!
Christeen’s lessons were also a source of comfort during a very difficult time. The structure and creativity of the lessons gave me something positive to focus on, helping me stay grounded and engaged.
Christeen’s support has been exceptional—she’s a wonderful teacher who genuinely cares about her students’ progress. I’m beyond grateful for the extra time she gave me to complete the course. Her kindness and generosity have meant so much to me.
Thanks to this course, I feel empowered to take on new challenges, like sewing maternity clothes for my daughter, who is now expecting. If you’re considering a Pattern Making or Sewing course, don’t hesitate—Christeen’s course will teach you skills for life!”

Meet Christeen Jacobs
This Course is developed by and features Christeen Jacobs, an industry expert with over 40 years of experience in the bridal and evening wear field.
Christeen grew up watching her mother, who was a gifted seamstress, to sew and bead beautiful gowns. “Sewing is an art”, she would tell her, “every seam must be perfect. The inside of the garment should look as good as the outside”.
Christeen loved the way her mother could turn a simple picture into a work of art. She followed in her mother's footsteps, and went on to run her own made-to-measure Bridal and Evening wear business in Sydney for many years. She even won Gown of the Year three years running for her handmade creations.
But her real passion lies in teaching others how to create and sew their own garments, as well as giving them the freedom to wear what they want. She loves watching their faces light up as they realise what they can achieve after their first lesson.
