After a brief hiatus to address overwhelming demand, Eric W. Stiles Sr. is relaunching his affordable online classes in sewing, tailoring, patternmaking, and garment construction. With years of experience teaching online through partnerships with 62 U.S. colleges, including Lee and Midland colleges&nbsp;in Texas and two Canadian institutions. Stiles is making his return with a renewed approach to guiding aspiring designers.
This time, the courses will be hosted directly on Stiles' dedicated website, offering self-paced learning tailored for students nationwide and beyond. These affordable classes are perfect for those managing busy schedules or unable to attend in-person sessions at Stiles’ EWS Academy in Oak Park, IL, or Moraine Valley College in Palos Hills, IL. For learners unable to join at these locations, the online format provides flexibility to master sewing and tailoring skills from anywhere.
The first round of classes kicks off on Monday, February 10, 2025, with each session running for two weeks. Registration is now open—be sure to secure your spot early! Classes will be delivered via email, along with a special password for access. When registering, please ensure you provide the email address you regularly use.
Students will gain two-week-24-hour a day access to each class through a unique password, which will expire at the end of that 2-week session. To continue their learning journey, participants should then register for the next phase of classes.
NOTE:
For the best experience and skill development, students are strongly encouraged to follow the recommended class sequence, ensuring steady progress and mastery of techniques.
“Relax, enjoy the journey, and embrace the learning process,” Stiles advises his prospective students, emphasizing quality and craftsmanship. He encourages all students to begin with foundational #101 courses in sewing and patternmaking to establish a strong skill set before advancing to #102 courses.
More Advanced Tailoring and Pattern Making Classes Coming Soon! 
Before diving into these exciting new classes, it's important to complete the foundational classes listed above. These upcoming advanced courses will cover professional pattern-making techniques and expert garment construction for a wide range of apparel, including pants, shirts, bodices, coats, and more. Students will learn to create precise patterns, master complex tailoring skills, and produce high-quality, custom garments with a professional finish.
These courses will feature professional patterns and expert techniques for crafting pants, shirts, bodices, coats, and more. With Stiles' expert guidance, you'll embark on a creative journey—all from the comfort of home.
