My Oma (my Dutch grandma) taught me to sew, but it's a dying art.
I've built an app to help people learn - like Duolingo, but for sewing. The gamification has a long way to go, but the tutorials are much more broken down than YouTube, and don't assume you have lots of prior sewing knowledge.
I've run a lot of in-person sewing workshops, and found that people need reassurance along the way. So there's 1-2-1 help available (only on web currently, but hopefully on the app soon too).
I'd like it to be a place where sewists can help each other and share tips. It's a traditional industry that's a bit stuck in the past. Loads of my gen z friends are curious to start and sew unique things, but haven't been attracted to any of the existing ways to learn.
It's a fast MVP so I've used the learnworlds course platform, and want to see which features (if any) are important for users.
Would love some feedback! Also, if anyone has got ideas or experience with using digital products to teach physical skills, please send me your insights! Getting people to pick up a needle for the first time and do a physical thing has been harder than I thought...
