Follow along as I meet my brides and design, sew, and finish each step – with oh, so many photos! Get lost in the details and learn new techniques.

Ever wonder why your clothing never quite fits?
Not sure what 'size' you are?
Want to take control of your wardrobe...
And have fun in the process?
Custom Sewing could be a great fit!
- fits
- size
- take control
- ...and have fun
- great fit
Learn to design, draft, construct, and complete custom-fit clothing with Brooks Ann Camper and an online community of classmates.
When you learn with Brooks Ann, you’ll design and sew your own custom-designed, custom-fit clothing- all without comparing yourself to others or to random standards. (It’s really fun and freeing!).
In custom sewing, your brain and your body are the starting point − instead of someone else’s design in someone else’s size.
Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced maker, you’ll gain new perspectives as you learn to create beautiful clothes in a new way. Custom sewing is an empowering way to elevate and celebrate your own unique beauty and style!
I realize now that even the drafting classes I've taken were based on standard mathematical formulas. No way would that ever fit this body!
I can’t get over how much more fun sewing has become! All of the sudden everything seems so easy!
Almost every day of class I had an OMG-this-is-going-to-change-everything moment!
Custom sewing offers a new way to think about what you make and what you wear.
- ...wondered how to design and sew your own clothing from brain to body?
- ...felt tired of trying 'industry standard' sizing on your non-industry-standard body?
- ...thought you'd like to be more conscious about where your clothing comes from?
- ...felt like, if you had time, feedback, and motivation, you'd finish a project?
- ...struggled with sewing, drafting, or using commercial patterns and need a fresh start?
-
...wanted to sew your own clothing, but also want it to look professional and not “homemade”? - ...thought it'd be really cool to fully understand the "why" behind each step, instead of just the how?
- ...wanted to learning something new, like art of custom garment creation?
If you answered "YES!" to any of the above Brooks Ann's custom sewing eCourses might be a great fit for you!
Brooks Ann gave me clear steps of how to begin a project and maintain clarity and focus throughout. It was an incredible feeling!
It is worth EVERY cent to learn in 6 weeks what I couldn’t piece together on my own in ten years.
Going through this process without size attached to it has been revelatory. Learning to sew for my body is, for me, a great act of self-love.

About the Instructor
Brooks Ann Camper first learned to sew as an adult in professional workrooms, creating and sewing custom garments for individuals.
In contrast to the “crafty” home sewing approach or the “industry standard” fashion design approach, she has unique perspective on learning a valuable process that is not often taught: custom-made clothing. After years of working in professional theatre (including Broadway) and as a custom wedding dress designer, Brooks Ann is now sharing her secrets with you – the sew-curious!
I'm in! Where do I start?
We'll start at the beginning, with
In the Intro Custom Sewing eCourse, Skirt Skills, you’ll learn a start-to-finish process of creating custom garments you’ll be proud to wear. By saying start-to-finish, that means we’ll begin before you even have an idea of what you want to make and go all the way to getting compliments from strangers on your creation, including design, patternmaking, fitting, and sewing. (And it is totally cool if you are a beginner!)
After Skirt Skills, you’ll be ready to continue building on your foundations with one of the follow-up courses: Smarty Pants and Top Class. With your body mapped from top to bottom and the custom sewing process in your toolbox, the possibilities for what you can make are endless!
Join the mailing list now so you’ll be notified when the next course date is announced! And then check out the Skirt Skills course details.
I think what I have learned the most is to enjoy the whole process, not just the end result. I have a newfound appreciation for the importance of hand sewing, for making the muslin, and for taking my time.

I never dreamed I could design and construct my own clothing! It has done wonders for my self esteem to learn this skill.
