ABOUT SEW HEIDI

Heya! Nice to meet you, I’m Heidi. I teach fashion designers like you the real world skills you actually need to learn to succeed in this cutthroat industry.

(You know, all the stuff you don’t learn at fashion school.)

I’ve worked as a contract designer for over a decade and run SuccessfulFashionDesigner.com. I’ve been able to make a healthy living doing work I love in fashion.

But I got started just like you, one step at a time. It began with some embarrassing hand sewn dresses and fashion sketches that would make a 3yearold’s artwork look like a masterpiece.

Then, things changed. I learned how design was done on a large scale. I learned how to get things into production. And I learned all the skills I wish I knew when I was first starting out.

Now, I dedicate most of my time teaching you all of that. This content is hard to find anywhere else (because in fashion, people keep secrets), so I decided to create it...and give most of it away for free.
