So far, so good. The course is well put together and I especially love the handouts. I don't have a command of the German language, but I am hoping to understand enough by the visuals and such to sew something I'd enjoy wearing!

O curso parece bom, mas a tradução (do alemão para o português) está tão ruim que fica difícil para uma iniciante entender exatamente do que se fala. Eu vejo que a professora Frederike é organizada e metódica. Se fosse possível entender a totalidade de sua instrução, talvez fosse um ótimo curso. Mas se eu soubesse da péssima tradução não teria comprado nem comprado o curso.
