Is your body hard to fit? Do patterns and the garments you sew never seem to sit right? Do you feel like there is a lot you don’t know about how to choose styles that will suit and flatter your body type?

I believe

that everyone

Through my videos, classes and workshops, I empower people like you who seek a unique touch in their wardrobe. Together we stand for inspired craftsmanship and advocate for a shift from fast fashion.

Pioneering the art of garment sewing since 1999

Are you yearning to sew garments that not only fit flawlessly but also embody your unique style? I get it – I’ve been in your shoes, facing the frustrations, the intricacies, and the joy of sewing, just like you.

At age 11 I sewed my first formal ensemble, which sparked a lifelong love for garment creation. From heading a bridal shop's alteration department to a four-year fashion design seamstress apprenticeship in Germany, my hands-on experience spans decades and continents.

Embark together with me on a journey where we share not just knowledge but the thrill of overcoming insecurities. Let's elevate your sewing skills and start crafting garments that define your style.

Testimonials

I’ve totally enjoyed the Fitting Fashion class. I have been sewing for over 40 years, but Chelsea helped me finally take my skills to the next level. The small classes are interactive and encourage learning new skills. I’ve learned “sew” much with Chelsea. Glad I didn’t wait any longer to learn how to fit my garments and make clothes I love to wear.

I found Chelsea Bussemeier near the start of the COVID pandemic. What a gift! We were all stuck at home and I for one wanted something creative to do. I signed up for one of her online classes that met twice a month. I met other sewists from other states and even other countries. It was great to be able to make new friends and I learned so much! Even though I suppose it might now be possible to find an in-person class nearby, I'm going to sign up for another year with Chelsea. Her training and experience is impressive and she gladly shares it all with her students.
