Designing your own clothes is an exciting way to express individuality with the world. It can also be a little lucrative if you decide to take your hobby to new levels and design for others.
My joy comes from helping you bring your design idea to life. I love seeing your confidence grow in design and sewing as I share the tools and techniques I’ve learned the past 20 years of sewing and designing.
I believe making your own clothes should be enjoyable and simple. That’s why I’ve created sew-with-me courses and other resources that help remove the intimidation and overwhelm learning this skill can cause. Beyond learning the sewing techniques and the design process, we also talk about mindset so you can be THAT GIRL showing up in a You-Original.
You’re a self-taught DIY sewer who wants to express your individuality, but your finished me-makes aren’t giving what they’re supposed to give!
Let’s stay connected so you can stay up to date on all design & sewing tips and live sewing workshops to improve your design skills and boost your confidence so you can create greatness you’ll be proud to show off.
