I just took the Beyond Sewing Basics course, which I loved! Shaerie is one of the best teachers I have ever seen and one of the reasons I signed up for the course.
Shaerie is one of the best teachers I have come across, and I have taken A LOT OF CLASSES!
I just want to take a minute to tell you all how much I like your patterns.
I just made the Studio Tunic for my daughter (undyed denim) and it was so well designed! What a great gift.
The course is absolutely
I LOVE your patterns, and have made three Hinterland Dresses so far!! I am learning as I go: just a beginner, but able to follow your brilliant instructions and the results are wonderful. Thank you SO much!!
Hi Team,
I just completed the Elevenses course and it was a great experience.
I was skeptical of taking a sewing course. I have been sewing clothes since I was a teenager (I am 65 yrs old). I am so glad I took the course. Yes, I could have muscled through but it wouldn't have been enjoyable and I might not have even started it.
I learned some new techniques but more importantly I gained confidence. In all my years of sewing I never felt confident because I had taught myself and I didn't trust myself. Watching Shaerie do the same things I do reassured me. It was like receiving overdue feedback.
The step by step video course is so well thought out and because of the pacing I didn't burn myself sitting for the entire day. Shaerie's instruction was clear and concise.
It makes me happy to know you are teaching another generation to sew. Yes - people can teach themselves as I did, but it's a different world and some things don't have to be so hard.
Thank you,
Marina

I’m Meg, and I passionately believe that what you put on your body matters.
Your clothing choices affect your mood, which affects your thoughts, which make you … well, YOU.
I want you to dress yourself with intention. To clothe yourself in lovingly-made, well-fitting treasures. To dress how you want to FEEL.
I didn’t always have this clarity surrounding my wardrobe. Learn more about how my son’s devastating diagnosis shaped me into the confident and purpose-filled sewist I am today.
You want to love your wardrobe. You want the joy of making something beautiful.
But, let’s be honest, that long list of potential projects can be OVERWHELMING, making you feel anxious rather than joyful.
I’ve developed a Guide to Holding Time for Creativity where I show you a path to slowing down, finding mental space, and turning your sewing into a practice of self-care.
