Become a Master Bridal Alteration Seamster
Choose Your Own Pay
You can realistically earn over a thousand dollars per month while only working part-time for yourself. How much or how little you want to work is up to you.
Choose Your Own Schedule
Schedule bridal fittings around what works for you. Then do the actual sewing at home according to your schedule. Work early morning, late at night, or during the day when the kids are at school. Some like to work weekends when their spouse can tend to young children.
Work From Home
Do bridal fittings at a bridal shop or in your home. The sewing can be done at home according to your own personal schedule. Own a completely independent home business, work as an employee for a bridal shop, or contract labor for area shops. There are many options available. You get to decide what works for you!
Warning: This Academy is NOT for beginner sewers
Anderson Alterations Academy is very advanced. All students must be comfortable and very familiar with sewing women’s dresses with princess-seamed bodices, linings, boning and both lapped and invisible zippers.
Bridal Shop Owners!
There is real synergy between a well-trained bridal alteration seamster and the bridal shops he or she associates with. I emphasize this relationship in my students’ career counseling and homework. I personally enjoy taking calls from sales associates or brides who are trying on dresses in a store and want to talk about possible alterations and pricing. It helps the bride feel confident in her dress of choice if she knows a seamster can make the changes that need to be done and she knows up front how much it is going to cost. No surprises for the bride.

It also helps the store close a sale, and I’m pretty sure that I will be getting a customer. A Bridal Shop with a healthy bottom line directly affects my bottom line. Bridal consultants can help serve their clients with more confidence if they know what I am and am not capable of doing. And the store presents itself as professional if it has a great working relationship with its’ seamsters.
Bridal Shops may want to consider sponsoring their seamstresses for my Alteration Academy. All graduates can have a profile page that has contact information for them and the bridal stores they are associated with. These profiles pages come with free marketing to brides in their local area. This can also lead to more traffic to your shop.
