At Tailor Academy, we believe that being a tailor is the most wonderful profession in the world. At the company headquarters of Wimmer schneidert in Salzburg, the humming and buzzing of sewing machines fills the air from dusk till dawn. We often notice our master tailors getting lost in their work, a subtle smile on their lips.
We stem from a long line of master dressmakers and our mission is simple: to share that passion with as many people as possible. For that to happen, educating one or two apprentices per year is just not enough so we’ve decided to try a different path: a professional online sewing course for all levels, designed to share the entire knowledge of a craft with the world.
We are often asked and sometimes even criticized why we share all our knowledge. As one of the oldest tailor’s shops in the world, we have collected generations of knowledge, practice and experience. As an award-winning teaching company, apprentices, masters and designers have been trained here for 9 generations.
Unfortunately, there are fewer and fewer training companies to learn the tailoring from scratch. And we, too, can only accept and train 1-2 new apprentices in our manufacture in Salzburg every year.
„We are becoming more and more aware of this trend. Of course, I am pleased that so many people are interested in this beautiful craft. But at the same time it saddens me that every year we have to reject dozens of qualified applicants who want to learn our beautiful craft.“ – Stefan Wimmer

Master tailor Stefan Wimmer is the ninth generation of his family to run Wimmer schneidert, a venerable tailoring company known for its vocational training program. The “Apprentices of the Year” and “State Champions” regularly go to Wimmer apprentices. With this course, Stefan Wimmer strives to share his vast knowledge and experience as an educator with all course participants.
Nine generations’ worth of knowledge is a lot of information to pack into one course. That’s why we focus on practical, hands-on training first and add the theory in where you need it along the way. From the first minute on, you’ll be working on beautifully made, timeless pieces you’ll wear with pride and joy – or dedicate to your friends and loved ones as custom gifts.
In the first lesson of the masterclass, you’ll learn how to sew a simple, chic summer dress by following master tailor Stefan Wimmer’s detailed step-by-step instructions.
