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 3-year-old’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.

Most people want Pantone colors, how do you insert the correct parameters for those? Can't just use the dial for an arbitrary color fill

[@SewHeidi]

Yes true you can’t alway use arbitrary! I have a tutorial on how to get the right Pantone: successfulfashiondesigner.com/tutorials/how-to-color-your-fashion-flat-sketch-with-pantone-swatches-in-illustrator/

[@SlyerPass]

Templatesforfashion.com already removed??

[@SewHeidi]

It has been shut down, but there are tons of free templates at successfulfashiondesigner.com/tff-lp/
