The art of sewing – with fun and a guarantee of success

The Wimmer Method

With every sewing project you take on, you refine your knowledge, your skills, and your creative possibilities. Thanks to valuable expert tips and hands-on knowledge, you learn in our courses exactly where it matters most — in practice.

Our training method, which has also proven itself in the education of our apprentices, deliberately avoids lengthy theory lessons. Instead, we focus on direct application and hands-on experimentation. It’s more fun this way — and it allows you to turn knowledge directly into convincing skills.

The success of this fun and practice-oriented “Wimmer Method” is reflected in the numerous awards our apprentices have received and in the achievements of our Masterclass participants in their certification exams.

What makes it truly special: each new garment you create is not only an expansion of your abilities, but also the joy of crafting a unique piece that reflects your vision. With every lesson, you not only discover the art of sewing, but also your own creativity — effortlessly and with guaranteed success.
