Your Next Step in Sewing Mastery
Are you ready to go beyond following patterns?
The Creative Cutting Circle is an online 6-week mentorship for confident sewists who want to design, fit, and finish like professionals — with my personal guidance and a supportive group of makers.
This is more than a course. It’s a mentorship. By Christmas, you’ll have the skills, the garment, and the confidence to call yourself a designer of your own clothes.
What You’ll Gain
This isn’t about ticking off a project — it’s about transforming how you see yourself as a maker. Over six weeks, you’ll push beyond patterns, master fit, and explore couture techniques in a way that leaves you with more than just a garment. You’ll gain confidence, creativity, and the skills to sew like a designer — and carry those with you into every future project.
Design Beyond Patterns
Unlock the freedom to move darts, play with seam lines, and adapt blocks so you’re not limited to following commercial patterns. Start designing garments that reflect your style.
Fit at Home with Confidence
Wrinkles and draglines become your friends — clues you’ll learn to read. With my Fitting Toolkit and feedback, you’ll finally feel in control of fit, even without me in the room.
Couture Finishes
Add those little touches that elevate a garment from “homemade” to “couture.” Bound buttonholes, sleeve heads, hand-finished hems — details that make your sewing shine.
Your Signature Garment
Over six weeks you’ll work on one project — a coat, dress, or jacket — and finish with a piece that fits beautifully, looks professional, and feels truly yours.
Small supportive Group
This isn’t just you and a screen. You’ll be part of a small, encouraging circle of sewists, with me as your mentor and cheerleader every step of the way.
Lifetime Learning
Every session is recorded, every resource is yours to keep. You’ll be able to revisit the teaching whenever you need a refresher — skills that stay with you long after the Circle ends.
How it works
This isn’t just another sewing class — it’s a guided journey with structure, support, and flexibility. Here’s what you’ll get:
- Weekly 90-min Zoom sessions – live teaching, demos, and Q&A (all recorded to keep).
- One private 1:1 call with me – personalised help with your biggest sewing challenge.
- Supportive WhatsApp group – share progress, ask questions, and get encouragement.
- Weekly homework sheets – clear steps so you always know what to focus on next.
- Fitting at Home Toolkit – practical guide for tackling fit issues with confidence.
- Lifetime replay access – revisit sessions whenever you need a refresher.
By Christmas, you’ll have completed a signature garment and built skills you’ll use for every project after.
Your Journey Through the Circle
Over six weeks, we’ll move step by step from first ideas to a finished garment you’ll be proud to wear. Each stage builds on the last — from design tweaks and fitting, to fabric handling and couture finishes. By the end, you’ll have new skills, fresh confidence, and a signature piece that reflects your style.
Before we begin, you’ll also get a gentle Pre-Start Orientation to meet the group, choose your project, and feel ready to dive in.
