Will I have a place to ask questions?
We have a designated forum for this course on the Seamwork community where you can ask questions of both staff and other community members!
Can I access the course at any time?
Yes! This course is available for you to watch whenever you want, now or later.
Is the course self-paced, or on a schedule?
This is a self-paced course, so you can do it on your own time and at the speed that feels right for you.
We do Design Your Wardrobe (DYW) together as a group four times a year to coincide with the upcoming seasons in North America, where we are headquartered — in the Spring (usually February), Summer (usually May), Fall (usually August), and Winter (usually late October). Group DYW takes place over the course of 4 weeks, focusing on one module per week. Group DYW features active participation in the community, including DYW focused posts in the forum and really fun Zoom events. You are welcome to join at any time (joining late is fine!) and participate as much or as little as you like.
How long will it take me to finish the course?
Since it's self-paced, it's completely up to you. Some modules will move much more quickly than others, and you may want to spend more time on certain homework. We recommend giving yourself 4 weeks to work through everything, but you can certainly take it slower or faster, depending on your preference.
How much does the course cost?
The course is included as part of your Seamwork membership. The value is $299 but the course is not currently available as a standalone purchase for non-members.
