Learn fashion design the practical way; from first stitch to finished garment.
iFashy Academy is a fashion school in your pocket. Study pattern drafting, sewing, tailoring, corsetry, embroidery, accessories and the business of running a label, taught step by step by designers who do this for a living.
BUILT AROUND REAL GARMENTS
Every course works towards something you can wear or sell. You will draft your own blocks to your own measurements, cut and sew real fabric, and learn how to fix a fit problem instead of starting over.
LEARN AT YOUR OWN PACE, OR WITH A COHORT
• Self-paced courses; start today and take as long as you need
• Cohort courses; a live class with a fixed start date, so you progress alongside other students
WHAT IS INSIDE EVERY COURSE
• Video lessons broken into short, focused sections
• Downloadable lessons for offline viewing; study on the commute, in the studio, or anywhere the signal drops
• Assessments you submit for real feedback, not just multiple-choice quizzes
• Discussions on every lesson, so you can ask before you cut
• A certificate when you complete the course

WHO IT IS FOR
Home sewists who want to stop guessing at fit. Dressmakers going from hobby to paid commissions. Fashion students who want studio technique their course does not cover. Designers launching a label who need the costing and pricing side too.
